Brown dress makeover

I got this dress at the LDS Church clothing fair.  It was the perfect color for me, but I didn't like the bib vest thingy.  I knew that would be an easy fix.

 Close up of the bib.  I like the fabric design, just not as part of the dress.

I removed the bib.  Trimmed the ties from it to be the same width all the way down.  Sewed the shoulder seams back together.  Opened up the side seams and added the ties to the dress.

Now I love it and wear it all the time.  I still have the bib saved.  Thinking of making it into a little clutch purse for church.  As you can see that I do like to make covered hangers.  They are flannel and machine embroidered. They keep everything hanging correctly.
