Upcycle clothes: Turn a dress into a wrap dress or wrap skirt
How to Alter and Upcycle Clothes series
Wrap dresses and wrap skirts are flattering, adjustable, and a fantastic way to give new life to clothes you already own.
In the video below, I share three practical ideas for transforming oversized or second-hand dresses into wrap dresses and a wrap skirt. These projects are beginner-friendly and focus on reusing existing features like buttons, sashes, and hems, making them ideal if you enjoy sewing, clothes upcycling, and sustainable fashion.
In this video, part of my How to Alter and Upcycle Clothes series, I’ll explain:
- how to turn a button-front dress into a wrap dress
- how to convert an oversized dress into a wrap dress
- how to make a wrap skirt from a dress
- what makes a garment suitable for wrap designs
- tips for preventing gaping and fraying
