evening wear to casual dresses
Calendria   Advanced Beginner AK USA Member since 7/4/05 Posts: 595	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/31/12 10:40 PM I know that some people have turned slips into nightgowns, or slips into beach wear, or night gowns into "out on the town" wear. so . . . I'm curious has anyone turned evening wear dresses into casual dresses, as in just changed the fabric choice to something more casual? I am just curious. Would love to know as I have PLENTY of these dresses in my wishlist an all.

I have a pattern that looks fairly formal, with options for lace overlay. But I plan to make it in a retro print stretch cotton.

You could use a more casual fabric or omit fancy details. Unless its an extreme ball gown or bridal pattern, it would be perfectly fine. Do you have something specific in mind? You can get great feedback here with specific questions. ------ Melanie
