Here is the second back to school transformation from our donate pile.
This cute top started out as a wide leg pair of pants.
I was excited when I found this vintage pattern. Because of the seam down the middle, it worked perfectly for a pants to dress refashion.
The pattern barely fit, but it worked.
I love the simplicity of this dress. It looks great with skinny jeans and a white t-shirt, but is neutral and can be paired with all sorts of things.
It works with leggings and boots
or a cardigan.
I love the clean lines and the Linen fabric.
Hooray, I think we are going to get a lot of use out of this one.

I just found your blog not too long ago, and I think that you are truly, simply amazing mom! You are so creative and do everything with great taste! and I really love the dress that you made. Very cute!
Totally cute! I've found a few vintage patterns for Reagan, I just need to get around to sewing them...
can you come sew with me?!?! lol. your daughter is getting my cute with her modeling. and she looks so trendy :)
she looks so MOD with the black leggings, boots and sweater! great look! and what a nice way to make an otherwise plain dress fun!
That is adorable! I agree - very mod!
My favorite part is that your daughter had a blast being a model. It's wonderful that she's thrilled with the new outfit.
Nice job reusing materials and making it into something usable and cute! The dress is very versatile. Might be cute with a flower baroque too.
As always, super cute. Do you want me to send all my donate pile home with Gman?
I am in love with this upcycle. I want that pattern! Where did you find it?
That is cute! And so is she.
Wow, so cute! I love that you have paired it with some many things. I wish my daughter was younger to make this for her!
