$1 Thursday: Black and white ruffled dress

What I Wore to Work Today: April 4, 2011
Dress: $1 Thursday Goodwill, refashioned
Belt: Gift from Sarah
Shoes: Target

I refashioned this dress in 10 minutes the morning I wore it to work.  I ironed the tuxedo-style ruffles in front and cut the skirt and sleeves, no hemming needed because of the matte jersey material.  It took a few minutes longer than necessary because I kept making the sleeves uneven — I’m lucky this dress didn’t end up sleeveless.  “Hm, better take a little off the right one… whoops,  a little too much, let’s adjust the left… and that was too much, let’s cut some from the right again…”
