Graduation dress alterations

So, I think I mentioned that I bought my graduation dress at a thrift store for $3.93. It is 100% silk, and I love it. Well, I had to make a couple of darts in the back, take up the hems of the silk outer layer with a rolled hem and the polyester chiffon lining with a narrow hem. Since I had approximately 5+ inches of leftover width in silk and chiffon, I decided to use it to make a nice scarf accented with a velvet trim. I love not wasting beautiful fabric. Every alteration allows for scraps to be made into something new.

I love upcycling!
