Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I was drawn to the design on this soft jersey/viscose dress in a thrift shop, and just knew it had the potential to be something lovely.
After removing the sleeves, taking in the sides and drastically changing the neckline, I now love the whole look of my new dress. And it only cost $4!
With a thrifted red belt to match, it’s such a comfy, cute and cheap outfit that I can’t stop wearing!

Love it! I keep seeing dresses where I like the fabric but hate the cut and never know how to go about changing them. This looks so easy though – thanks for posting!

What a great remake! The fabric was too good not to be selvedged into something right? Lovely job, you’ve done here! So darling and the belt just really completes the whole thing!

Wow! It looks like a completely different dress! You’re refashion really brings out the pattern on the fabric and the red accessories are so sweet! I’d never be out of this dress.
