Or, The Shortest Post You'll Ever See on This Blog.
Before:
After:
Can't say I love the neckline (which used to be the sleeve puffs!) but it was quick and hid a multitude of sins the original seamstress committed on the top of the front bodice. And I wore it to a holiday party with some of my fave Austin sewists tonight! Good times. I also see from this photo that the lace hem is lower on the left. So I'll keep you posted after this dress undergoes its next revision.
Thanks for your comments on the last 2 posts. I plan to catch up this weekend with my responses. xo

Oh my Antoinette. I saw your before photo and thought that was your project. As you can imagine I was thinking what has that girl done! The refashion is great, a really trendy young style.
a vast improvement!
That's a huge improvement, good job!
Simply stunning. What a great job!
Nice work!! I was trying to imagine how you were going to save that dress, and coming up empty. It looks great!
Love it!
I love it! And I love the neckline.
i'm impressed! seriously. that looked so hard it didn't look fun. was it?
Cute!
And I'm so glad you found a way to keep the top ruffle.
Two thumbs up for your refashion! You really reworked that style to the max. It looks so much fresher and lighter. And fun! I love this kind of projects, very Project runway! :)
great refashion! i'm really anticipating the revisions too!
What a transformation. Can't wait to see the next rendition.
Ah! Too clever. I would so wear this with crazy fishnets and fun wedges.
Cuteness. I especially like the neck detail.
I love the short length of the dress! I have to laugh at the before picture! You did wonders with it!!
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo you did a goooooooooood job. it's dang hip.
The neckline really does bring it into the um...Naughties.
this is so fantastic and i love that you already got to wear your new refashioned dress out to a party. you are such a talented seamstress!!!!!!!
cute! Consider this dress saved!
I gasped at first, thinking the top photo was a new creation... You did a great job on the refashion, it looks modern and flirty now!
I've been out of the loop too! great refashion on this dress! and so quick... I'm inspired to tackle a thrifted wedding gown I've been staring at for months...
Certainly a huge improvement! Of course, I tend to think taking the 80's-ness out of anything is a vast improvement. ;)
lovely!
