Callan_Trudy1.jpg - Trudy Callan I purchased this vintage dress from the 1970's in the a thrift store, and decided to give it an updated look. I cut off the sparkly silver top. The jacket was too small. It would not close and tie in front. So I opened up the band on the bottom front and took out the under the bust gathers and spread it out, closed it back up; and it now closes. The dress was floor length; so I shortened it and put in a zipper in back.
