A High-low skirt is usually too high in front to be modest but obviously nice and long in the back, so I decided to alter one. Both the skirt and dress were given to me – so free. I loved the print on the strapless dress and even made use of the pockets! First I […]

Filling in V-necks
For my body type V-necks NEVER work. They are always too low. And although I don’t mind the layered look of a tank-top underneath, I live in way too warm a climate to be wearing basically two shirts. So I took some tanks picked up for 25cents at the Thrift Outlet and cut out and sewed […]
Maxi Dress to Maxi Skirt
Sometimes #ModestRefashions are easy! This Maxi dress is immodest and in 3 simple steps was turned into an awesome & modest Maxi skirt. We decided to keep maximum length and cut off the top right at the armpit seam. We then folded down a nice wide waistband, and pinned in place. The final step was […]
Flower Shirt Refashion
A very simple yet effective refashion, I simply loved the print on this shirt I got at the Thrift Outlet for 50cents but it was several sizes to big and the neckline was way too low – and ruffles around the collar, why? A little seam ripper and a few stitches later and I have […]

I am sure some shirts out there are completely lined but this one did not have the top half lined making shoulders (and bra straps) visible through the lace. Originally this shirt was worn with an undershirt but it gets hot […]
Refashion to Princess Dress
This pink dress, picked up for 99cents at the Thrift Outlet was easily transformed into a Princess Dress with puff sleeves – my most functional (and pretty) sleeves added so far. The dress needed to be resized slightly so I seam ripped the shoulder straps and resewed them slightly shorter. I found a puff sleeve […]
T-shirt to Fitted Undershirt
Lauren had a black top with lace portions, thus she needed to wear a t-shirt under it and wanted a colored one as it would show through the lace. She found a green athletic fit t-shirt at the Thrift outlet for 25cents). Worn under the black top it was too bulky, and the v-neck conflicted […]
Scoop Neck to Crew Neck
Sometimes you only need a small alteration to make it modest and this can be frustrating when you are shopping. For me one problem lies with scoop neck tees and I’m so excited that I’ve now found a quick and easy fix for these! Especially as I just picked up these three gorgeous color t-shirts […]
