Bright Alterations

I don't lightly cut into vintage garments, but I like to personalize my clothing and if I can alter it to please me or fit me better, by golly I will! So I cut away the lower half of my vintage maxi, and made the scraps into a wrap skirt.

 

I'm very happy with its new length. As gorgeous and wonderful as is the print, it's also just very loud and intense and a full length dress of it was just a bit too much to take in. Part of me misses the original maxi of it, but I love the new dress and the wrap skirt I made out of it. Two for the price of one! Cheers!
