I posted this ‘hardly a refashion at all refashion’ over on Wardrobe Refashion on Tuesday but forgot to post it here as Tuesday was the day of the faithfull camping trip & I was in a hurry to head off & pack various necessary…. necessities.
This top come tunic come dress deal’e has been hanging around here for YEARS. You may recall it from Punk’s Dress Up adventure (yes… seems I use the box of “things to do something with” as a dress up box….). I didn’t wear it because of the weird top part… I mean…. what IS going on there…?! I intended to make it into a skirt or something, until on camping day, it was pretty warm & I couldn’t find anything to wear, I spotted it again & had an idea…
I was actually wearing it while “fixing” it, and it took no time at all, but I was so happy with the result – something, well, wearable! (Not to mention accented with the very height of fashion – the classic “red button“.)

That has to be one of the quickest yet most stylish upcycles in the history of…well, upcycling. (And I bet The Boy didn't complain either)

Great work, it's going to be a hot summer. I believe a red button can fix anything

I love a neckline refashion – it looks great. (I like the element of danger that comes with sewing clothes whilst you are wearing them too!)

If you've got it, flaunt it! And you did 😉 Love the red button too.

Gypsy – despite what the picture apparently shows (according to you & Tas anyway!), I most certainly DO NOT “have it” to flaunt…!
Liesl, well, I DO like to live life on the edge… 😉
