Re-Purposed Jean Dresses

The 2 Jean Dress is a Garment Sewn Together from Two Pairs of Pants

The 2 Jean dress is the newest edition to the altered denim craze that's been taking over this year.

From distressed denim cutouts to purposeful butt rips, denim wearers have been becoming more adventurous, finding new and individualized ways to wear the classic staple piece. The 2 Jean Dress perfectly exemplifies this desire to reinvent denim as its unique and re-purposed design recycles the old, into the new. The dress is fashioned by sewing two pairs of jeans -- one medium wash, and one a dark wash -- together in dress form. The pockets, flies and buttons of the jeans can be seen towards the hem of the dress.

Hybridized fashion is popular in recent months, capturing unique elements from more than one design to create something entirely new. These jeans encapsulate that style, with additional elements of recycled and re-purposed fashion.
