Missoni for Target *Modeling Pics*

[Mixedbag]

I purchased this at Target, back in December. It's an XS but a little big at the top and the straps are too loose. Does anyone with sewing skills think it would be possible to turn this into a halter dress? I'm just trying to figure out a way to wear it this spring.

I made mine into a maxi skirt-wear with black or white sleeveless top

Sorry my pic is so big

Can you please tell me how the sizing for this sweater is? Does it run big or small? TIA!

It depends on how long the straps are and how they're sewn on....you might be able to undo the stitches on the back so they can be tied around your neck. I'd have to actually see the material and the length to see if it was possible but it *could* be.

So size 10-12 = large? And is the retail $50? Thanks!

Cardi

Wow that looks amazing! I never even remember seeing that one. I must search for it!

Yep I believe 10/12 is a size large and it retailed for $50.

Thanks! There is an M I'm watching on ebay and I'm around a 10. Do you think it would fit? I plan on wearing it open.

Thanks to sailgator in the other Missoni for Target thread and her update on the stock of a Target a few towns away from me, I found this dress! It wasn't even on my list of items I wanted from this line but when I tried it, I immediately fell in love.

That looks great on you! Is it TTS?

So I decided to keep the maxi skirt -- I found the Passion cardigan over the weekend and the graphic T and I liked how both looked with the skirt, so it was enough for me to decide not to return!! I wore the skirt, the cardi and the suede pumps to work last night!

What size cardigan is that if u don't mind me asking?

Thanks for responding. The stitching can be undone in the back, no problem. I was concerned about the fabric gaping in the back, but looking at it now, I think my idea could work. I'll report back once I gather up the courage to cut the straps. Thanks again.

I have that in medium....and I'm usually a size 6/8

Thanks for the info. I won't get the medium then. I wonder if XL would be too big for me though. Do they shrink at all?

You're welcome, I hope it works out for you! Sometimes the straps are really there just more for decoration, the top mostly does a good job of holding it up on its own. But I hope it works! I would also put something on the ends of the straps when you detach them, just so they don't unravel. Dritz's Fray Check works really well and you can get it at Michael's and other craft or fabric stores:
