About Me

My photo
About three years ago, I stopped buying new clothes. Too many clothing manufacturers use sweatshops or some other form of slave labor, and I refuse to support that. So I buy clothes second-hand and recycle old and thrifted clothes into new styles. I don't wear new clothes; rather, I am a new wearer of clothes.

Vintage Lace Dress Restyle

Among the piles of old clothes my lovely coworker gave me was this awesome vintage lace dress:


It was almost perfect just the way it was, but the neckline and sleeves were a bit awkward and didn't fit me quite right. I needed a dress to wear to my bridal shower this summer, so I decided to attempt a restyle of this beauty. I basically took off the sleeves, redid the neck, and shortened it just a tad to make it a bit more modern.


And voila! Here's a picture of me wearing it at the bridal shower:
