Vintage Dress Refashion
"Check out this simple vintage dress refashion tutorial! Take a dated, frumpy dress and make it modern with simple stitches and some dye. There is a photo tutorial showing you how to complete the simple steps and shorten the hem, remove the sleeves, dye it, all transforming the vintage dress into a modern one that is easy to wear and fun to make. Refashioning is cheap and a great way to experiment with sewing and refresh your closet."

Wow, what a transformation. Just cutting off the collar and sleeves without over dying the dress would have made for an enormous change. This is a perfect recycle project that changed a dated dress into something much more contemporary. Shortening the dress seems to have helped in modernizing the dress too.
