One of the easiest ways to reuse a dress is to use it as a skirt or jumper.  Since the idea of a jumper still makes me itch, thanks to school uniforms in elementary school, mine tend to have alter egos as skirts.  I love this sundress, but the low cut bodice and spaghetti straps make it less than work friendly, so I repurpose it by layering a thicker fabric shirt over it (because the bodice has ruffles and smocking a thinner shirt would show.)
