"Old school" to "New school"

Have you ever wonder why in the 1800's women had so many layers in the hot sun? Well I have, if I was born in the 1800's my taste in clothing would have been so different from the other women.  I am not  upset, but thankful that I was born in this century.  The reason I say this because I found a dress or maybe it is a night gown at the thrift store and I turned it into a beautiful dress you can wear out and have a fun clean time. As you can see the dress, it is ancient in my opinion lol.  I had to do a lot of work because I didn't know what I wanted to do with this dress, but the end results was great.  The first thing I did as always is cut the length of the dress to the knee, next I cut the arms length to the elbow, took the ruffles off that was around the neck, and last I hemmed up all the places that I had cut off.  BAM! you have a lovely outfit.  Let me know what you think and have a blessed day!
