This cashmere sweater dress was just too short, but it was too flippin' cute to give up on. I stared at this dress for so long before I decided how to re-fashion it. I am always tempted to go crazy with details and adding trim, etc. but realized the simple solution was the best here—plain ol' scissors.
I cut off the bottom and it is now my favorite sweater.
Much better.
And the part I cut off is now wrapped around my neck pretty much 24/7—it's the perfect scarf. I finished the short ends of the scarf with a rolled edge on the serger, but realized I didn't really need to, so the long side I let roll onto itself. It's so warm and cozy. It's even warmer when I wear it with a shirt. I realize I am sort of in my PJ's here—long story.
Here's a detail of how I finished the edge of the sweater—a 3-thread rolled edge on the serger.
Hey blogliners—I have a new banner up and some new links, just so you know.
