I found this dress at the Salvation Army and fell in love with the flowers. It was too long, though- terribly matronly and just plain too big. So, I took in the waist, and hemmed it by lots of inches. I like the result- it's still a bit large through the bust and hips, but I kind of like the effect. I thought I'd wear a belt with this- but the back has this sort of bustle-thing that I didn't want to obscure! (hard to see in the photo- if you click on the photo, it's easier to see)

I'm so mad, though- these are my favorite tights- grey fishnets, I think they're DKNY? They have a hole in them! I'm so mad. Anyone know if you can repair them? Stitch them or something? Ugh. I'm pissed.
The shoes I bought at like, Kohls or something last year.

Very 1940s siren! Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the floral print! And you look beautiful in these pictures!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about fixing tights - but I have seen gray fishnets in several places at decent prices lately. I really love mine too so I feel your pain!
I like the dress!
