A vintage dress, shown, from Salvation Army, 1601 W. 23rd St., was turned from a matronly frock into separates offering many options with a few simple cuts and stitches.
The skirt was cut to be shorter in the front than in the back, a current trend.
The skirt is shorter in the front than in the back. Because it's a knit fabric, it won't unravel and wasn't hemmed.
The dress was cut apart into a separate skirt and top. The sleeves were shortened for a short-sleeve shirt.
The top was ultimately made into a racerback tank after cutting the sleeves off.
A spare piece of fabric was wrapped around the back and hand-sewn to create a racerback top.
