Up-cycling My Lime Green Mini Dress

-
Lime green is my favorite colour and I didn't have any fashion pieces in lime green pieces because I was reluctant to wear this colour because I thought bright colours wouldn't compliment my complexion but boy was I wrong!. Last year I was the bravest version of myself and I went for the risk by creating a mini bodycon beach dress in a lime green fabric.


Lime Green Mini Bodycon Dress






The dress came out perfect and I loved it because it added to my complexion; making me glowww!!
Recently I picked this dress up from my closet to wear to summer school and realized that it was now too short for me, I immediately had the idea to change this dress into a cute unique crop top (but not too crop). 

  • First I cut off the straps and plaited 3 of them
  • After I cut the body (from the waist down to the hem) of the dress into a square like shape
  • Then I shaped the square into crop vest; cutting the necklines and arm holes
  • Finally I thread my machine and sewed the pieces together; attaching the plaited piece to the neckline and doing any adjustments necessary 
                                       

Final Product!

Thrift Flip With Me

Up cycling is not new to me; I have always been changing and redesigning my old clothing into new fresh fashionable look that I would suit my personality. Being here in Canada I learnt about thrift shopping from some of my friends at school; which is going to shop at a store that sells secondhand clothes and other household goods with prices being commonly bellow $20 and the money is used to raise funds for a charitable institution called a THRIFT STORE. The idea of shopping cheap for a cause (not like fast fashion tho) interested me so I jumped on YouTube to see what people were saying about thrift shopping and I discovered THRIFT FLIPPING which is basically what I did with my old clothing and that encouraged me try it out. I visited one of the recommended thrift stores “ Value Village”  1020 Islington Ave, Etobico, Ontario Canada   I  spent hours looking through clothing and got a few pieces. I came across this yellow dress and was in love with the col...
