At the end of the summer I picked up these rompers at Wal-mart. Apparently these short little numbers weren't big sellers, but I benefited and was able to get them for ONE DOLLAR a piece. Now don't worry I didn't try to fit into them and parade around town. I simply bought them for the material, the cute little details, and of course the buttons. Has anyone else noticed how expensive buttons can be?
Anyway, I finally got around to doing a bit of a refashion on this romper. It was so simple to turn this romper (with 1" shorts-YIKES), into a tank top.
All that I had to do was slit the shorts up the center seams....
and hem the seam. I used a twin needle for this step and am very pleased with the results.

| The barn was tipping over and I was doing my part (along with the pole and board) to keep it standing. |
It was a ten minute/one dollar refashion. I like that the top has a bit of elastic at the waist, and I love the bow detail in the back.
I have yet to refashion the solid green or blue stripe rompers. Any great ideas? I just love the kelly green and ultra marine blue colors.
I'll be linking up here today! Thanks for visiting.
I love this! It's cute and simple. Definitely a great choice to get rid of the "shorts". Not sure they can be called that though. Lol!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and what a wonderful idea! I was worried at first when I read romper - I just think they should be outlawed at a certain age ;) - but you really did a great job turning it into something awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.

SO cute. I saw these in pink at our Walmart and couldn't think of a thing to do with them so I left them on the rack... No I wish I'd picked a couple up since YOU have wonderful ideas. :)
ReplyDeletethis looks easier that our version. my dd and i cut above the elastic (the beading on top was very cute) and added strips of fabric on the bottom edge. thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made a fashion faux pas into something really cute! I really like it- and your abilities to hold up a barn are equally impressive ;)
ReplyDeleteCute! That color looks so good on you - great job with the refashion! :)
