Last night I decided suddenly I had to "fix" this dress- I don't know what came over me really seen as it has been sitting in the "must do something with" pile for SO LONG. I used a per-existing pattern to get the basic shape of the dress, I also cut off the collar and the sleeves. It's not a massive reconstruction project - but I'm happy with it considering its my very first one.
Here's the leftover after I'd finished up with the reconstruction - I actually got rid of a lot of the additional fabric in the dress.

It looks amazing! I love how you have accessorized it. I have a ton of frocks in the to fix pile but never get around to it. x
The result looks really cute! I love that dress paired with the blue cardi & tights as well!
Looks like you did a great job!
I have a pile of stuff "to be fixed" too...should really get on to that at some point
Well done you! I have so many dresses that are too big. I wish I could do my own alterations, but I just wear them with a big belt. Great fabric & I love your tights. Xx
Isn't it a lovely feeling to get around to a job that you've been putting off for ages?
That dress is a million times better now. You look fantastic in pink. x

You look utterly adorable! I love the colors - the pink and blues together are just divine. GREAT job reconstructing this dress. :-)
I agree with Vix - you look absolutely FABULOUS in your new frock! You're so clever - may I send you my stack of frocks just waiting for me to DO SOMETHING!???

Cool transformation - I really like the colour with blue, I would not think of that combo, and it looks really cool.
