Altered Dress

Last night I made this dress and I wore it today to church. I guess I shouldn't say that I made the dress. I only made part of it. I found this dress at Goodwill - brand new with tags still attached - and thought it would be perfect with a little alteration. I found some matching fabric at JoAnn's and decided on making a bubble skirt bottom. I had to add about 9 inches on to that dress to make it hit my knees! (Can you believe people actually wear dresses that short?!) Then, I just tied some extra (serged) fabric around my waist to pull it all together. I love how it turned out! I think the dress cost including fabric was around $10. Love it!
What do you think?
