Down East Ocean Front Dress

A couple months ago, Down East had a tent sale in my area.  I decided to go check it out.  I didn’t find anything exciting, but as I was leaving I noticed the workers unpacking more boxes.  I stuck around and waited, and I found this dress.

It was $7.00.  All because a seam right under the bust line had come undone.  I didn’t even know if that size would quite fit me, but I decided that if the top didn’t, it’s make a super cute brown skirt.  I took it home, tried it on, and it fit perfectly!  I grabbed some brown thread, and a needle, and 5 minutes later the dress was good as new.  Next time you’re out shopping, keep your eyes out for something “ruined,” that may be mend-able!
