Yeah, yeah the title is cheesy. I know.

And yes, I haven’t posted for a while but I am pretty sure this one will be appreciated.

I am not really a dress person so when I came across this dress in my closet for who knows how long, I felt a wave of inspiration come over me.
I started with this plain, black dress and ended with a great and unique peice.

And I will tell you how to do the same.

  I bought this black dress at Target for a silly reason I cannot remember and turned it into this:

Heres how: First, I brought the dress way up and pinned the back with a saftey pin. This took off about 13 inches of material.

After noticing I wasn’t at all crazy about the weird elastic waist line, I covered it with a silk hair scarve.

Then, I just threw on a jacket that I normally wear with a white shirt and jeans on top and voila! A simple, great way to improvise a not-so-nice garment.
