Before/After Project #9

I'm on a roll lately with all the before/after posts! Are you all getting bored with them yet?

Last week I went to my favorite thrift store in town (okay fine, the only thrift store in town) and found this women's dress for $3.71:Here's what the back looked like:
It had cute little embroidered lady bugs, I couldn't pass up. So I made Avery a little summer dress: Here's the back:
To re-cap my thrift store post about what to look for when shopping for items, here's what I liked about the dress:

1. Material- it was a nice medium weight 100% cotton
2. Color- the lime green caught my eye, it was a cheery color
3. Structural Details- it had a lot going for it that I could work with. The embroidered ladybugs, contrasting pink piping around the neckline, back and armholes, and buttons up the back.

Have any of you been to the thrift store lately? What did you find? What are you going to make?
