Refashion: H&M Floral Blouse


I found a sweet floral shift dress (similar to this one) on sale at H&M over the summer. It was marked $7 with a 'take an extra 50% off lowest marked price' tag. Even though the dress was too short for me and hugged my bum a little too snugly, I was in love with the print, and even more in love with the price.

I took it to the counter at which point the employee rang it up for $7 & proceeded to try to tell me the tag meant either half off the original price or the lowest marked price. I tried to explain what a discount off the lowest marked price actually meant. It was a losing battle. Was I really working that hard to save $3.50? On principle, I was. But I let it go, because the dress was worth $7 to me. I still shake my head at that poor employee that really didn't understand what was going on. I wanted to pat him on the head and say, numbers are hard, huh?*

Anyway. I brought that shift dress home and chopped off the skirt. I gave it a curved hem, and I think it turned out pretty well.

What do you think?

Have you refashioned anything lately? Leave a link so we can all check it out!

*I would never actually do such a thing, I just have a very snarky personality in my head.

  1. I love the print and that you made it your own! It looks great paired with that skirt too, now that temps are starting to cool down.

  4. I seriously wish you were my neighbor or something. I always think to myself while shopping, I should buy this cause I love the pattern or color or whatever and refashion it. But I never do. Or I do and I never do it cause I am a terrible sewer.
    Just so jealous of your mad skills!!
