This is a summer dress I made for myself. I had a tight bodice on this because I had made the dress a while back when I was a little slimmer. But the bodice was a little too fitting and the sleeves felt too hot. So, I wasn't wearing the dress very much.

I had to remedy the situation! I took off the darts that were above the waist and iron them flat, and I took off the back zipper and sewed the back shut. Then, I took off the sleeves to make it sleeveless. Then, I put a placket in the front so it becomes a pull-over dress.
Sometimes little alterations can make a big difference. Now this is my go-to dress on a hot summer day.
