Refashion Runway DIY: Oversized Dress-suit to an Asymmetrical Dress

August 29, 2015~ REFASHION RUNWAY, SEWING

As we come to a close of this wonderful competition of Refashion Runway, I’d like to thank Beth for hosting and answering my endless emails. I was probably the most high-maintenance contestant with my incessant emails! But she was always so quick to respond and patient in answering each of my questions. I think she’s going to really miss my emails after this is over, right Beth? 😉

Okay, now let’s look at my last challenge, the Asymmetrical Challenge, shall we?

DIY: Vintage Wedding Dress to a Cocktail Dress

August 22, 2015~ REFASHION RUNWAY, SEWING

I found this gorgeous wedding dress at a thrift store. Sure, it’s outdated and not within the time of what’s in style right now, but I can see why a certain lovely bride fell in love with this dress and wore it to her wedding! I am sure she looked absolutely stunning in this dress and I felt a little bad(?) as I cut into this dress and made it into something different.

DIY: Outdated, Oversized, Faded Yellow Dress Suit to a Red Peplum Dress

Outdated yellow dress to a red peplum dress
Hello guys! For Refashion Runway challenge 4, we were to make a maxi skirt or a dress.
I got this really outdated, oversized, faded yellow dress suit from a thrift store. I am still in love with peplum design clothes, I think peplums are so flattering on many body types as it accentuates the waist-to hips ratio and by helping to make your waist look slimmer. After debating whether to dye this dress to a mint color or red, I decided to go with red since I’ve always wanted a red peplum dress.

DIY: Men’s Leather Jacket to fringe tote bag + fringe shoulder bag

Fringe Tote bag DIY
Hello everyone! This week’s challenge was the most difficult and challenging week for me. I’ve never made a handbag/purse/clutch of any kind before and had no idea what I was going to make. I thought oh, I have almost a week to decide and make it, then the day before our family’s trip, I realized I didn’t have all week to turn it in, I needed to turn it in before I leave on our trip! So I had one day to figure it out and make it and submit this post, but I made it guys, WHEW! And I am very happy with how it turned out!
