Mad for plaid refashion


This was originally a shirtdress, vintage early 1990s. I tried it on at Goodwill and when the bodice was clearly insufficient to contain my chestal region, I nearly put it back. 

Then I reconsidered its positive points: Yellow, plaid, full skirt, $5.99. 

So, I bought it. The lady at the cash register eyed it, commenting: "That's sure a lot of plaid." 

Yes. Yes, it is. 

But after I completed a lazy refashion (cut it off right above the elastic waistline), I was thrilled with the result. Among my recent thrifts, this skirt has garnered the most attention (mostly positive).
