So this piece was beyond calling my name. I think anything red calls my name louder than before because these red pieces feel like they get me because of my matching hair, you know. Like this piece. It GOT me.
There is a fab, tiny, white polka-dotted print that I quite thoroughly enjoyed as well. After having this piece on for a bit, I think I was having too much fun with the waist straps...
So much so, that I don't think I'll be getting rid of them like I thought!
Plan of attack...start with the front of the dress and remove the seam that's going straight down the center.
I removed about four inches worth of seam...
...and prepped a new V-neckline!
The length was a bit funky too, so I opted to shorten it up.
I pinned my hem...
...got rid of the pads...
...and sewed this puppy in place!
With my dress stitched, all I did to complete the look was take those straps that were supposed to be tied in the back and wrap them around to the front! I made a little bow and voila...insta-cinched waist and brand new dress!
I mean... I'm kind of loving this look!!
GIF time!!
