I also added ties to the dress just for looks. With the A-line back, this dress is already pretty shapely, but I wanted the black contrast and bow just because. And I love how it looks.

I’m kind of sad (in retrospect) that I didn’t do lime green topstitching as well, but I’m not sad enough to unpick it all just for aesthetics.
And while Saige was being super silly during photo time, she couldn’t wait to wear it to church which makes a mama happy. 
What do you think? Would you have guessed the Refashioned Pinstripe Dress used to be pants?
How cute !!! Thanks for sharing .. May have to do something like that for my granddaughter … Have a great rest of your day !

Saige is seriously the cutest little model! The first picture made me laugh. She just has that “look!” As cute as she is, the dress looks amazing, too, and I love that it was a pair of pants in a former life!
Aww, thanks Jamie! The first picture is her “I’m cute and I’m going to pose how I want to” look. And it worked. Sigh.

GIRL. Pants. Dress. I can’t even. You’re amazing.
Ha! You’re fabulous. Thank you.
We are getting ready to move and I came across 3 space bags full of clothes for my husband & I. It actually popped into my head, because of project run & play, that maybe some of it might be useful for upcycling! So far I have only made one dress from one of my husband’s never worn shirts for my daughter, but I have plans for more. Your posts, truly have been inspirations to me!
