Vintage Dress Reconstruction

I don't even remember where or where I picked up this polyester number - but I do remember I bought it as I liked the pattern on the fabric even though it was about three sizes too big and it had been made in the style of a sack.

 

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.
