Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    I started out with this funeral looking wool black dress from the 1980s.

  2. 2

    I had to begin by altering the dress to better fit me. It sat a little too low in the sleeves so I removed them and raised them up slightly.

  3. 3

    Then I removed the zipper from the back of the dress. The dress was fully lined which made things really easy for me. All I had to do was pin the lining back to the dress and sew.

  4. 4

    I then added a hook and eye at the top of the dress to fasten the dress together.

  5. 5

    I Re-attached the sleeves and determined how short I wanted them. I wanted quarter length sleeves.

  6. 6

    I cut and hemmed the sleeves to my desired length.

  7. 7

    Lastly I shortened the skirt and re-hemmed both the lining and the dress.
