I got this large women’s coat from my friend’s yard sale for $3 and transformed it into a classy & elegant coat/dress for my little girl. With the extra scraps of fabric I made a clip-on bow that she can wear on her hair or on the coat. Which do you prefer?
What you’ll need:
An oversized coat
Matching thread
Scissors
Pins
Seam ripper
Project cost: $3
Estimated time: 2.5 hours
Skill level: Advanced beginner

I love this transformation. Asnd the bow looks great either way, although I think I prefer it on the dress

Wow!!! Bow looks so cute in her hair, I think the dress is enough as is. Just beautiful and so inspiring 🙂

Super cute! I love how you are not intimidated by linings, etc. Thank you for the little mistakes shown, that helps give confidence. Your child saying ‘that’s ok’ is awesome…you’re a great mom!

Fantastic! Love your creativity, it looks beautiful on your little girl. I definitely love the bow on the dress but it also looks good on her hair. It gives a Kate spade, J Crew kind of vibe!
