So, I was asked if I could make this sweater dress bigger. If you know anything about me, Dear Reader, is that I like a challenge.
I took the sleeves off and used a piece to make extensions at the shoulders. Then, I went to my local thrift store and found a sweater in a similar color. I debated on getting something in one of the colors of the trim, but I didn't see anything that would work.
I used that thrifted sweater to add side panels and more of the owl sleeve to do the trim. Then, to make it fun, I made bows out of some of the thrifted sweater and a piece of the owl sleeve.
It was stitched together using a stretch stitch and the sides were serged to prevent fraying. I then bound the armsyces w/ bias binding. The bows are hand sewn on.
I had a lot of fun reimagining this dress!
