When Sorrel came in for her tailoring consultation, she had a TON of clothing. Blouses, pants, blazers, dresses…practically a wardrobe! The best part?  ALL of them were designed in the 1980s.  The whole thing was a veritable treasure trohv of shoulder-padded glory. While it was difficult to choose which ones she wanted to work on, she ended up choosing about four pieces, including this black and white dress.

Both the print and fabric were great, but the dress itself had a lot going on. So we removed the sleeves, removed the skirt, and transformed it into a cute and fashionable peplum blouse. Check it out!
