snippin' the sleeves



This dress was a steal at Target for like $4. It had long sleeves. Today, I wanted to wear it, but long sleeves in the tropics is pretty much a death wish (or a crazy-stare wish, which I get enough of already), so I cut and sewed cap sleeves. Turned out well. Did I mention this is a polyester dress??? Um...this will have to be an occasional wear.



Here is what I did with the sleeves...our neighbor girl enjoyed them!

Hey I was inspired by your blog yesterday when I found a dress at Oldnavy for $20 (not quite the steal you found at Target!) but it was unwearable because it was strapless and didn't have enough support so I ADDED sleeves. Sweet! Thanks for the idea :)

Love the dress. Sometimes polyester is the best choice.
