    Wowza!  That is totally awesome!  I wish I had a friend like this.  A neighbour of my mom's offered up her dress that she insisted I should wear. . .an 80s creation with a high lace collar and giant poofy sleeves.  My mom explained that I was much taller than her, but thanks for the extremely kind offer (yikes!)

    It has already been said, but your friend did an awesome job. I am a seamstress and I don't know if I could have done as well.

    That's amazing work! So she just took on the challenge for fun? It's not your dress? Or hers?

    this is absolutely amazing! Old dresses do have life in them if you look carefully.  I've used thrift store wedding gowns as evening gowns and theater costumes.  I've also seen plenty of bridesmaids dresses get worn for a second time as costumes.

    That dress is awesome! If she is just challenging herself, she should put her creations up for sale on the classifieds or on etsy of her salvaged creations!
