Charity shop upcycle

By Sabina Kerswill

The HD9 handles jersey like a dream too! The original dress made me feel frumpy.

I chopped the sleeves and the neckline. I added a channel to elasticate the neck and now its a lovely off the shoulder summer dress that I feel great in! Not bad for £2 and 30 minutes work!
