Bridesmaid dresses get a second chance at EVIT!

The lace and frills of a bridesmaid dress are beautiful at a wedding, but where else can you wear taffeta, tulle and beads? East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) Fashion Merchandising students learned to capitalize on their investment in a bridesmaid dress by making it the perfect pick for more than the one wedding occasion. Their challenge? Take a bridesmaid dress and create a party dress that can shine at any special event.

They shortened the skirt, cinched the waist, and dropped the shoulder to make this dress an "any dressy Saturday night" fashion statement.
