 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. I know it's been a minute since I posted a refashion, but I am still doing them, just not as often as I'd like. But today's video is all about a recent one that I have finished. This is a dress that I got at Goodwill earlier this year. I really love the fabric and style of the dress, but it is a 2XL, a little bit too big for me. No problem for us sewists though, right? The fabric is a really pretty double knit that reads like a pink lace on a black background. It has simple princess-seen bodice with no darts and a gathered skirt. These are really the easiest of refashions because the starting point is so basic. Technically, this is more of an alteration than a refashion anyway since I didn't truly transform the government, but I want to show you guys how easy it is to take something like this down a couple of sizes. To take it in, I chopped off the skirt, cut up the side seams, shoulder seams, and neckline, then I re-sewed the shoulder seams and side seams, taking in as much as necessary to get it to fit. Next, I gathered the skirt's waist seam and reattached it to the bodice. I folded over the arm side and the neckline and sewed them all down with my cover stitch. And just like that, in about two hours time, I have a new dress that cost me about four bucks. This dress is nothing if not super comfortable. It's easy to throw on with some black flats and head out the door, no must, no bust. I can also pair it with a black turtleneck in the fall, a black jacket in the spring, and add both of those layers plus leggings in the winter. That makes this the unicorn of garments because I can wear it out year round. What a deal. I hope you guys will head up your local second hand stores and pick up some garments that you can quickly and easily alter to fit and have something in your closet that you love versus something wasting away in the landfill. That is going to do it for me today. I will see you all very soon. Bye.
