Re-fashioning in 1926

Thank goodness modern re-fashioning techniques are significantly more advanced than in this delightful clip from 1926!  There's no sound but if there was it would be something like: "Get your scissors, hack this bit off here, the sleeves off there, pin this on here and ... ta da!  Finishing? I don't know what you mean."

They've desecrated a perfectly nice dress. To be fair the final dress looks OK from a distance.  What do you think?

Still no sewing around these parts. The renovations are slowly taking shape though!

Happy sewing.
