Lookbook: Upcycling an Ugly Floral Dress

The dress upcycled and styled

A $5 Goodwill Dress Upcycle, styled with a harness (but of course) and some sandals.

It's mid-summer in the gardens after all

I cut off about two inches and attached the ruffle trim to the bottom. When upcycling a dress, even if you think at first it's ugly, sometimes just shortening it and giving it some new trim can elevate it to a more current style like I did to this floral monstrosity. Less muu muu more, babydoll.
