Hi-Lo Experiment

Here's an awesome dress that I found at Goodwill, but I hated the length of it. Talk about frumpy.

So I updated it by giving it a hi-lo hemline. Much better, ¿no?

T-Shirt --> Long Tank

So I wanted a long tank top for when I wear leggings. I didn't have one, but I did have this old white tee that I never wore.

So it became my new tank top.

Tablecloth --> Poncho

This is my first creation that wasn't an article of clothing already. I got this beautiful lace tablecloth at a yard sale for a couple dollars.

 

 

And turned it into a poncho, which I'm now obsessed with.

Dress --> Skirt

I found this rather ill-fitting frock at a garage sale for one dollar. I couldn't pass it up because I loved the color and the embroidery.

 

 

Not my most creative endeavor, but hey, I got a new skirt out of the deal!

T-shirt --> Halter Dress

I found this t-shirt at Goodwill (my boutique of choice) and absolutely loved the color and the graphic, but as usual, it was humongous.

 

 

So I turned it into a halter dress!! This is probably the creation of which I am most proud.

Two T-shirts, Two Restyles

So I have this habit of acquiring thrift store t-shirts that are awesome but way too big for me.

Exhibit A:

 

 

I wanted to keep the t-shirt look with this one, so I just took in the sides and redid the sleeves, and voila! I wear this all the time.

 

Exhibit B:

 

This one I wanted to have a little more fun with. I had no idea what I would end up with when I started working on it, but I absolutely adore the way it turned out!

Men's Shirt --> Dress

This is a shirt that I sort of appropriated from my dad several years ago. I don't even remember why I took it, 'cause I never wore it. For obvious reasons.

 

 

I cut off the sleeves, took in the sides, and added another button at the bottom, and it became a dress!
