A 60's style vintage refashion

                   BEFORE:                       AFTER:

                          3.50 euro second hand skirt       Little 60's inspired dress  

This is by far my favourite refashion to date. It was initially a skirt which I found  in a second hand store for 3.50 euros. It started as a skirt and I transformed it into a dress..... luckily I had just enough fabric. I feel like it is a little too short, but I suppose that it makes it feel even more 60's like.
 

1. The first stage of the refashioning process involves deconstructing the garment.

2. The second stage involved using a shoulder princess seam bodice pattern, and a mini skirt pattern (which were self drafted). I carefully guesstimated the positioning of the pattern onto the fabric, as I had very little room for error (hence the shortness of the skirt). Then cut and sewed it all. 

Construction of the garment:

BODICE - Shoulder Princess Line bodice  

SKIRT - mini skirt with darts

LINING -both bodice and skirt yellow fabric lining
