PEACHY KEEN

One day I found a dress at Cotton On that I LOVED. The lace fabric had a good pattern and it was one of my favorite colors, peach. The problem was that it was pretty short, sleeveless and too low cut for my liking...


But I bought it anyway! I was determined to fix it to fit me better. I bought two dresses because it was the only way to get matching fabric. So heres what I did:
  • Shortened the straps to make the neck higher (after this it was super short)
  • Sewed on lace cap sleeves
  • Added a strap of fabric to the middle section of the dress to elongate the torso and make the dress longer
  • Added a layer of lace beneath the original skirt to make it longer


It was quite a bit of work but I am really glad I did it now because it is one of my favorite dresses! I got some of my senior pictures taken in it.
