Mama Reworks It!: Adjustable Dress

We found this little dress at a yard sale.

Horseradish just had to have it.

It was $1.00.

Only it was a dress fit for a teenager.

(Teenagers are alarmingly thin these days.)

(Though I believe this dress is from the 90's, soooooo, I'm confused.)

To eliminate the gaping underarm peep show caused by straps that don't fit,

I just cut them in half, right in the middle.

I tucked the rough ends under and sewed a straight line across the tops.

Then I just tied the two ends together!

And now we've got an adjustable dress!

It'll carry her right on up into the teenage years.

If she's still into a dress from the 1990's, and alarmingly thin.
