Description
A ’70s dress I had in my possession. I made several changes and I think this ogre of a dress has turned into a princess dress.
After being refashioned I thought it could look even better if I put an obi-belt. I think I was right.
I love this new dress!

Amazing! Can I ask how you did the collar? I’ve been struggling with a blouse..

wow! I’m amazed at how well you modernised the dress, without losing the style and essence of the old one. Well done.

What a fab transformation! There is nothing that can beat the feeling of transforming the unwearable to wearable (and the not so gorgeous to the gorgeous!!!). The belt really makes it, love the contrast!!!

Wow, kakva transformacija! Haljina je prelepa, i boja ti super stoji.

The shortened/sleeveless version looks so much better! And, yes, you were right concerning the belt.

Thanks! I strongly believe that in comparison with the old version this new one looks like the queen of the world! :) I am glad you liked it!
