Maxi Dress Refashion!

Hello there!  I hope you all are having a fabulous Friday!  I sure am.  I am feeling very ambitious and already made a batch of bread.  I like those days, when the ordinary chores seem fun.  (Doesn’t happen very often).  But I’m not here posting about chores! 
I love all the Maxi dresses out there right now, but there’s a slight problem.  I am short.  Like 5’ 1’’…So these dresses and I aren’t real great friends at first sight.  So I altered it, and I LOVE it!  It hits just below the knees, and looks great with a bright colored shirt underneath.
Before, it looked like this, now it looks like this

Last Saturday, after the LONG bake sale, I came home and refashioned this dress.  My husband knew that I needed a crafting break or I would go crazy.  So he kept working on his projects, and I worked on mine!  I found the tutorial for this dress here at Make it and Love it.  It was super easy, and only took me a couple hours.  I used Fawnda’s tutorial for the flowers found here on Fireflies and Jellybeans.
I had a little bit of material left over from this project, and have another project in mind, so stay tuned!
