Mintage Make-Over
After a LOOONNNG day at work I remembered I forgot to get someone to take my photo. Sorry these are not the greatest but I had to show you this dress. I got it at Mintage for $18 on the sale rack, and fell in love with the pattern but I wasn't sure what I would do with it. It was about 8 inches longer and that made it kinda old looking. See what a little hemming or alterations can do. Last night I measured, cut and hemmed it into a really cute mini dress. I love the pattern and I am so glad I gave it a new life.

I bought a few vintage dresses from mintage once and completely reworked one of them from a muumuu into a fabulous cocktail dress. The other dresses were hiding ugly stains that I neglected to detect when I bought them. Awful.
I hate when that happens! You are all excited, then BAM, Stain!
I've spent my whole summer adding a buttonhole here, raising a hem there, or adding darts to dresses and shirts. It feels like I have a new wardrobe because of that. Once a day, I think "I could totally fix this pair of jeans, or that skirt!". I'm sure I'll have to stop at some point.
Awesome dress! Love the colors and pattern :)
I'll never stop getting things and making them more awesome!!
