Description

My sister picked up this dress in a charity shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, for a fiver. I shortened the hem, changed the buttons, shortened the sleeves and added little bows that I made out of the excess fabric. I think the dress went from granny-dress to vintage-chic! Hope she likes it  I want to keep it!

    I wish i had the creative vison to do this. I always see vintage dresses in great fabrics but just cant see past the old fashioned dress in front of me. Good job.
