There’s something you should know about me to start off. I LOVE all things pink, polka dot and lace. If I find something with one or more of the attributes and you can guarantee I’m going to buy it and find some use for it. I also LOVE chickens but don’t usually like to wear them on clothing.
Anyway, I found this dress and my usual thrift store and paid $6-$8 for it. I have had it for a while so I don’t remember exactly. The thrift store I frequent most has 5 different colored tags. Each day the tags are 30% 50% or 75% off. The other 2 tags are regular priced. They also have a .25 cent rack. I typically only buy the ones that are 50-75% off unless I absolutely fall in love with something.
I loved the lace detail on the top and bottom of the dress. But I hated the middle part, I did not think its was flattering to my shape. Plus I’m only 5 feet tall so it was way too long for me. I decided I would just remove the middle part. I cut the skit off one band above the seam and did the same for the top. I want one band on it to give some definition to the waist. It was a little tricky, however I was able to line up the skirt seam with seam of the band I left for the top. I trimmed any excess fabric that was left and took the side and back seams in a little. I think the dress turned out great and will work for a fancy date night or wedding. Hope you like it!
