Before and After

Awhile back I wrote about this great vintage 70's young edwardian style dress that I only paid $1.99 for. It looked really bulky on me when I bought it, but I finally took it to the tailor to have it fixed. I would have done it myself, but the material is really thin and I was scared that I would really mess it up. I ended up spending around $15 for her to fix it up the way I wanted it.

After:


P.S.
I'm finally on summer vacation! So be expecting frequent updates and even a few surprises! :)

    Cute! What a great idea taking it to a tailor! I have a few things in my wardrobe that are a bit bulky and in need of some tailor time! Cx

    I usually take clothes that I have no idea how to fix, it's pretty convenient :)
