Hello Readers. I don't remember where or when I scavenged this black dress. I loved the eyelet lace at the top. I love eyelet lace in any form. You can't go wrong with basic black but there was something wrong with this dress.
Before and after.
The dress had a weird shape. Maybe the lace at the hem shrunk? I'm not sure but I didn't like how it got smaller at the bottom of the dress. It just did not fit me well.
I had a plan to make this dress into a loose summer tank top. I thought that would fit better than the dress. And I had a plan to save every inch of that lace.
I unpicked all the stitches around the lace at the chest of the dress. It wasn't difficult but there were little threads everywhere by the time I was done.
I cut the middle of the dress away and I had a good shirt length that I needed to reattach to the lace.
I liked my new shirt a lot. It was light and loose. The lace was the best part of the whole thing and I was able to keep all of it. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
***Year End Update- The light cotton and the loose fit was great in summer. I loved this top.
