Weekend Wardrobe: Sunny Day Dress





Dress: Vintage/Similar; Belt: Anthropologie/Similar; Shoes: J Crew

As I mentioned in my wishlist post last week, I'm kind of in love with the sunny combination of yellow and white right now. I found this dress on the sale rack at a vintage store about a year ago for a measly $7. I obviously brought it home. For the longest time, though, there's been something about it that, well, needs something.

This weekend I decided to try my hand at fixing it up. First I thought I would shorten it and make it a v-neck, but after pinning that out, I decided against it. I was enjoying the longer length, and felt like it just needed something at the neckline, so I added a knit pointelle peter pan collar.

You can see the before and after above! What do you guys think, collar or no collar? I kind of love it both ways.

Regardless, check back later in the week because I'll be showing you how to pattern out a peter pan collar for any plain neckline you want to add one to!

Til next time!

  3. Adorable! I think I like it without the collar though- the collar mixed with the yellow/white front reminds me of a Jester. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.... :)
