Can I reuse dresses for 6 months until my baby is 1 year old?

As you may know, baby clothes cost a fortune. My baby is 6 months old and has left behind mountains of clothes. Until now I have been lucky and have received stuff from my friends or gifts when my girl was born.
But as you also may know, people make gifts for up to 6 months and when the baby goes over that, all of a sudden the dresser is empty. I was looking at all the gorgeous and expensive dresses that she has and has put on 2-3 times only, and I can't bear to put them away and spend money on new ones. So I was thinking of buying some lace band or other material and lengthen some of them. If they have shoulder straps then it's a breeze, just cut the straps and sew longer one. The issue is if the dress is large enough. I've been through stores today and checked the differences between 6mo and 1year widths. They seem about the same to me...
So what is your experience and advice? Can longer strap or lengthening the skirt be a viable solution?
Thanks for the suggestions. I did buy some things from other moms and I preferred to wash them with my normal detergent instead of the baby's, since the baby's is literally no good. Guess what, today her eczema is back, on her legs, where she had the 'new' pants touching the skin. At least now I know what it is...
I have received these marvelous extremely expensive dresses (around 90$ a piece) that I'd hate to loose. This is why I want to make them longer. I'm concerned about the size at the waist though...

I like the idea of the straps. It would work good if the dress or shirt was waistless. Once, when my daughter was 21 months, we were at the Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls. A little girl at a nearby table was wearing a dress identical to one my daughter had. The dress came with a shirt underneath it, but the older girl was wearing it as a tank top with shorts. I filed that idea away and used it.
Another thing I have done with strappy and sleeveless dresses is put shirts under them for winter wear. This is a good way to get use out of shirts that are too short. (With the dress covering the shirt, nobody knows that the tummy is exposed a bit.)
As has been said, I've also used (and still do, my daughter is five) leggings, tights and diaper covers for skirts and dresses that are getting too short-- Especially if the skirt and tights or leggings are the same color.
I've always been cheap. I was raised to buy things as cheap as possible and keep them for as long as possible. Especially so with my kids. I have a two-year-old son and he's wore several of his sister's hand-me-downs. (Even some "girly" sleepers, but they are "just" sleepers.) There were times when a second child was a possibility that I got clothes second hand and free that were technically boy's that I thought could be used for either/or someday.
If you are going to add on, is there a way in which you can add on, but then take if off? This way, if you pass the skirt or dress on, the next parent(s) can do the same.
As for the detergent, we generally use the Arm and Hammer dye-free, scent-free. If we run out and it's not on sale, then we go for the Purex dye-free, scent-free. (When my daughter was a newborn, my very picky MIL HAD TO get the Dreft because nothing else was good enough.) Something might be clean when we get it, but if it smells, I have to wash it again (sometimes with added baking soda) just to get rid of the detergent smell.
