A great find......
I bought this Calvin Klein dress at Dillards two weeks ago. It was on sale for 65% off. I really liked it and the way it fit, but I do not wear sleeveless dresses. So, after thinking about it overnight, I went back the next day and bought another one in the largest size they had. (it was an additional 40 % off the already marked down price)
Why?? you ask.
I made sleeves for the dress!
Using a previously used sleeve pattern, I cut a sleeve from muslin.
After removing the sleeve facing, I inserted the muslin sleeve into the armseye to be sure that it was going to fit properly.
I then cut two sleeves from the bottom hemline of the extra dress and set them in.
A New dress is born.
(I hope Calvin Klein doesn't mind.)
The fabric is 92% polyester and 8% spandex.
It's just stretchy enough to shape to my body.
The dress is still available and on sale!

I love buying clothes on sale and with a little work I was able to make the dress just right for my taste.
Even after purchasing two dresses on sale, the price was less than the original price tag for one!
Remember: Never underestimate the power of a woman with a sewing machine
