Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️💕 I decided to do this sweet pink dress this week. Its been in my closet for ages! It was a side zip, but I had a lot of room to take it out and move it to the back. I measured out the bodice and hacked of the skirt, and then took in the bodice on every seam. I originally wanted to keep the overlay, but it wasn’t working out how I envisioned! So I tossed that idea and stuck to the beautiful fluffy cream underskirt! 💕

This dress was SO MUCH FUN to make! I used a vintage 80s square dancing dress pattern from Kwik Sew. I wanted it to be poofy, swishy, and twirly and that’s what I got! I really liked the idea of doing a Chiefs dress without using the logo fabric. The pattern was super easy to follow, and I need MORE. My girls said it looked very Disney Princess in the end, and then my brain exploded with possibilities! And guess what- the vintage pattern was completely true to size and needed no modifications. What the heck is going on with modern patterns!? 🙃🥲 If you would like more details, feel free to ask any questions in the comments! 💛❤️💛❤️

Come with me on a little thrift trip in Kailua! This Salvation Army is rough around the edges, but always produces some real gems. 🤩 I wish I had room for those purple dishes- I looked them up and they are Pfaltzgraff ‘Cape May’. The mid century set looks like Taylor Smith and Taylor, but there was no markings! If you know it, leave a comment! 😍

Part Two: How to make clothing bigger! If your garment only needs small adjustments, you also might be able to find the extra width in the seam allowance. This isn’t an option in the case of this dress! 😂

That emerald 50s dress 😭💔 It’s a side zip. I would have to take out the zip, sew up that seam and CUT into the back of the bodice. Not excited about that prospect 🤣 It’s not impossible, but... ehhhh, wouldn’t be my favorite thing to do!

I got this ‘church dress’ at Salvation Army for only $3. It had moth holes all over the sleeves! I loved the thick velvet appliqués at the cuffs, and knew I could do something awesome with them 😍 Because I couldn’t use the fabric from the sleeves to help squeeze out enough for the skirt, I opted for frankensteining the lining together. I thought the two toned effect ended up looking really cool! I used Simplicity 8330 for the bodice, and once again was disappointed in the sizing. I actually sized down two, and still had to make a ton of adjustments! All in all it was a challenging project, with lots of learning moment 😂🙌🏻
