Back to Front

As mentioned in my hot shoulder pads pot rest post, I had found a dress that I wanted to wear backwards. Reason being, I  am still breastfeeing my 5 month old, and hope to do so a while, so need clothes I can open easily without having to lift things to high and reveal more than I am already. So I did some cutting, stitching, de shoulder padding and made it shorter as it was an ankle long dress :/

Luckily for me, the real front of this dress wasn't made to look like the front exactly. There is probably proper terms for this, but what I mean is, the front and back are exactly the same besides the buttons so it was an easy switch around for me. All I needed to do was make a collar and shorten and thats it. Have a look..

The collar I made by folding the top over so this was now lower than the back and not choking me

Well, i'm quite happy that I can wear this now. Maybe this post will get you thinking about some clothes you have that you thought you couldn't wear. Well now you can!
 
 
Have a good weekend!
