Too much of a good thing can be, well, too much. Bridgette came to us with exactly that problem. She’d found a tunic in a beautiful shade of mulberry, but it was SO shapeless and just overwhelmed her figure. Luckily, she had an idea, and came to us 🙂
We started by chopping the dress in two, and hemmed the top off into an adorable crop top. Then I finished off the waistband of the bottom half of the tunic, creating a knee length elastic waistband skirt. Super comfy AND cute 🙂
In this case, two was most definitely better than one!
Before – ripped armpit detail
After – separates!
After – so many possibilities!
