I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE PROGRESS - Tumblr Posts

i love this dress, however it does not fit me anymore, ive had it since like 6th grade(yikes that was a while ago, an hoo boy i haven't grown that much, im just a short queen) and it was huge on me then. i can even lift my arms because of the sleeves, but hear me out. i hate throwing things away so i wanna alter it and make something cool

HERES THE PLAN!!!

1st: remove the sleeves and make the holes bigger so ican move my arms

2nd: move the end of the bodice up to my natural waist

3rd: add some fabric to the back to make it a little bigger

4th: dye it red????? i dont like white clothes all that much, but like imagine this dress dark red!!

5th: add flutter sleeves maybe?

6th: a slit in the back with a cool ruffle

7th: bead the top maybe?make it super intricate

8th: feel super pretty wearing it

I returned to my roots and watched the last unicorn, and like yea thats where i got my personality i bet... BUT THE SLEEVES ARE OFF AND THE ARM HOLES ARE BIGGER!! i dont have a sewing machine rn so i hand stitched around the edges to hem it down, and i think it looks good so far! i can move my arms around at least lol

and then i binged labyrinth, and dang i wish i could have the same vibes as David Bowie in that movie (next project??? lol)

it took a while but i picked it apart and took out the zipper, now i just need to figure out how to put it back together the way i want,,,
