I have a very similar dress that I've been trying to come up with a fantastic idea for and after seeing your after pic I see that sometimes simple is just way better :)American Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109476075618031424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047141276501695829.post-91975272193641390512011-04-04T12:46:42.365-04:002011-04-04T12:46:42.365-04:00Thanks ladies for your comments!

Before cutting the turtleneck, I measured and marked the circumference of the eventual neckline on the dress.<br />2. Since the wine colour sweater fabric stretches more than this sweater dress fabric, I cut a rectangular piece of the wine sweater that was about 2 inches shorter than the circumference of the eventual neckline. This is really by eye only.<br />3. I sewed the wine rectangle ends together into a circle, fold the whole circle in half, stitched it to the eventual neckline of the sweater.<br />4. Cut off the turtleneck.<br />5. Topstitched the new wine collar onto the neckline.<br /><br />That's it! Hope this helps!Lovenickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043206559384867635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047141276501695829.post-3229813490550408322011-04-04T10:34:58.415-04:002011-04-04T10:34:58.415-04:00Love how you did the neckline!!Love how you did the neckline!!twobutterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545007758591881317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047141276501695829.post-36110752091180727562011-04-04T04:38:32.540-04:002011-04-04T04:38:32.540-04:00Teehee, the black fabric gives no clues for depth ...Teehee, the black fabric gives no clues for depth perception and all but makes your baby belly disappear :) A great refashion!
