Welcome to Refashion Revision where I take outdated clothes and turn it into new.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 but decided to start a YouTube channel in early 2017. If you enjoy my videos, please click the subscribe button!
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.
What you’ll need:
- A short dress
- A strip of fabric(mine is 1/8 of a yard)
- Thread
- Scissors
- *Fray check(optional)
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!
Let’s compare the before and the after.

No I couldn’t tell. Nice job. I never seem to find a compatible fabric, but that looks perfect.
This is so helpful <3

Hi, it does look nice. Alhough, I really think that I would have cut off the little bit of cream that was still on the dress and just used the material you bought. Then it would be a bit more cohesive. You wouldn’t have to worry about if the cream was exactly the same color as what was on the dress because it wouldn’t be next to it to show.
