DIY Maxi to Mini Dress Technique

This gorgeous blogger from Dirty Hair Halo has used a DIY technique on this dress that I've found really useful in the past. The dress in these photos used to be a moo moo - long and shapeless. To update the dress and make it really cute, she cut off the dress short and then re-sewed the intricate hem back on the dress so as not to lose any of the detail. This is a really good DIY technique for shortening dresses with pretty embroidered or ruffled hems.

DIY Mens Shirt as Dress

A girl after my own heart! Rocking a men's shirt as a dress, by cutting off the sleeves and crossing over the fabric at the front using a belt to cinch in the waist. Perfect!
