Restyled Recycled Greek Goddess Dress
I love the one shouldered dresses that are in the shops at the moment. I decided to have a go at making one myself using a dress that I bough from a charity shop for £5. It was a fairly easy project and only took an hour or two (not great pictures I am afraid but I hope to invest in a better camera soon). The dress was a navy long/ maxi style with an empire line. This is how I restyled and recycled it into a one shouldered dress.
1. I tried it on and worked out where to cut.
2. I finished the cut edge by turning over twice pressing and sewing.
3. I sewed part of an old scarf along the neckline.
4. I finished the cut edge of the other half of the scarf, tied around the empire line of the dress and secured with a few stitches on each side.
There are endless possibilities for restyling clothes into one shouldered dress or tops. You could embellish with all sorts of ruffles, flowers, patterned or contrasting trims made using a piece of clothing that is no longer wearable.
