Refashion Series Ep. 10 The overall dress // such an easy refashion but so cute!

Picked up this overall dress at Savers.  I think it was $10 or $12, but it was half off.  I was really excited about its potential!I loved the olive green color because it works beautifully as a neutral.  It just needed a little updating to make it perfect.

Alterations:

  • took in back seam for a closer fit
  • created belt to emphasize waist
  • created bow detail for back
  • altered back to a V shape
  • shortened hem
  • removed distracting square logo on the front pocket

Once I was done, I wore it that night!  I love all the pockets for stashing my phone and any candy I may have on hand.

The hardest part was working around the hardware.  I couldn’t remove most of it, because it would have left behind large holes, so I had to work around that.  That’s why I only took in the center back seam–the side seams weren’t an option.
