DIY | HOW TO MAKE A SHORT DRESS LONGER : Transform Old Clothes

Welcome to refashion revision where I take outdated clothes and turn it into new. I’m Sarah and I’ve been refashioning for 10 years on my blog called Our Life is Beautiful but started a YouTube channel in 2017. Click “SHOW MORE” for more info!

This week I am showing you a detailed tutorial on one of the techniques I use to make a shorter dress longer. I literally worked on this dress 10 mins. Before our 4th of july party started so I could wear it to the party.

So the goal for this DIY was to lengthen it without being able to tell, so it looks like it was this way, if you didn’t know I added the extra fabric on the bottom, would you have noticed? Let me know in the comments!

What you’ll need:

A short dress
A strip of fabric(mine is 1/8 of a yard)
Thread
Scissors
*Fray check(optional)

Estimated time: 20 minutes
Budget: $30
Skill level: A beginner
