THRIFT-FLIP 90s Vintage Romper | Alterations to make this hot mess wearable

Watch me transform this frumpy vintage romper into something actually wearable (while dying inside because this ended up being more difficult than I anticipated)! I picked this up at a thrift store last summer, and I'm 99% certain it's vintage from the 90s (as my google search would lead me to believe). To make it more wearable, I removed the lace-up front and added a zipper, took in the sides and shorts, and added pockets. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of rompers, but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out and happy to have it be the sole romper in my wardrobe. Filmed on my iPhone 5s, edited with iMovie. I'm not fancy. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/0utfit_repe... ************* My name is Melody; amateur seamstress, eternal theatre kid, and overall jack-of-all-trades. I love being able to take something old (whether I already own it or found it at the thrift store) and turn it into something new; you’ll find a lot of thrift-flips, mending, alterations, and other creative projects here! Living frugally and being intentional with my belongings is also very important to me; I enjoy clothes but strive to shop second-hand as much as possible and use what I already own. I hope I can encourage others to also become Outfit Repeaters with this channel. Formerly an over-achiever with a BA in Clinical Psychology, I now reside in the woods in a tiny apartment with my wonderful husband and pet tarantula. Life is weird but generally pretty good. I hope you’ll stick around!
