You really rejuvenated this great 80s frock. I love the dye job. That colour, coupled with the feminine lines of this frock, helps make it all the more 1950s looking now.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-37935224293949872942014-01-10T12:36:32.849-08:002014-01-10T12:36:32.849-08:00I agree, love the dress as is and it looks great w...I agree, love the dress as is and it looks great with the color change and corrected buttons.

Have fun deconstructing or not deconstructing this one, that's a good thing about sewing, you can always make a decision later!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-38552701786570488842014-01-08T23:13:32.879-08:002014-01-08T23:13:32.879-08:00I have to laugh at myself.

(in everyone's best interest I won't finish that sentence) but as I scrolled down (and then up again) and then down (and then up again) and then down to your final picture (fabulous dye job by the way!) I think I quite like it on you. Well done on seeing something in a dress that I clearly would have missed.Debbie Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237352412615372174noreply@blogger.com
