DIY: How To Turn a Maxi Dress into a Jumpsuit

Spring is finally here and there are several items in our closets that we just kind of don't want anymore.  I have already paid Goodwill a visit and dropped off the most random box ever (clothes, picture frames, flags.... random).  There were some things that I kind of didn't want anymore, but I kind of didn't want to get rid of.  To this dilemma I say, "DIY!" Love this post? Check out how to upcycle an o[...]
