Altered Slip Dress

This is a super quick altered slip, that turns lingerie into something you can rock anytime. The initial inspiration for this upcycle came from the book, “50 Nifty Thrifted Upcycled Fashions” by Cynthia Anderson. I went my own way with the project, because in the book you cover the entire slip with yardage of laces in different textures and colors. I wanted a more patchy look, so I ordered a package of lace pieces from a shop on Etsy. This slip was thrifted, and the lace edging fell off when I washed it! UGH! So I removed parts of the trim, hit all the edges with a zig zag stitch to stop it from unraveling and then added some sky blue quilt trim from my stash. You could easily try this with a tank top or camisole and it would turn out even better! I’m a little disappointed with how the slip fits overall, but love the concept behind the project! It’s amazing what a few scraps of lace can do to freshen up the vibe of your look!
