A dress remade into an apron

This apron was made from a beautiful dress. My client asked me if I can make it into an apron, and I accepted the wonderful challenge! 

The original dress was a dress that my client had made in China while she worked there.

I had to carefully remove all the seams and retain the fabrics to make parts for the apron: front panel (top section and bottom section), shoulder strap, waist straps, and a pocket.

I used almost all parts of the dress to make the apron, but I only had enough fabric left to make one pocket. 

I love giving another life to an old item that may have been sleeping in the closet. Please contact me if you have a project like this for me.
