The waistline ended up at a weird level between empire and natural waisted so I moved it more in the empire direction. The back also gaped a lot so I took it in.
It's still not perfect but I think it looks better, especially with a vintage belt.
My hair is kind of in a weird grow out phase so I've been wearing hats more often. They cover any hair weirdness plus keep your head warm.
My faux fur booties were also a must on such a chilly day!
Overall, I'm glad this dress is wearable again! Maybe this will inspire me to dig more into my "to fix" pile so I can have some more pieces in my winter wardrobe.
Great work on breathing new life into a project that you weren't totally happy with it. I think it looks really lovely - so perfect for cold weather layering.

Yep, I have a pile like that that I hope to work on soon.... I understand! Your dress looks great though!
ReplyDeleteI also love your fur booties. Pretty amazing.
I think it was worth the effort to fix it. It looks lovely. It's such a great layering piece to have for the colder months.
