I've been a bit bored with my closet, lately. So, I decided to snazz up one of my all time favorite trapeze dresses with a little alteration to allow for a belt. A snip here, a snip there and voila- a completely new silhouette! I love the way that it flows now, and it gave me enough spark to be satisfied with the dress for a while longer. Outside of this, I've been pretty busy with little projects, and I've been busy loving this warm weather. Now all I need is for the estate sale season to start up again *fingers crossed*.

    the dress flows gorgeous :) i am so confused... how does the belt go around it, because it doesnt seem like it goes around the back! anyway, super cute as always!

    Omy! This is soooo brilliant! Rather than belting the entire dress...snip snip business in the front and party in the back! I love this! {Actually gonna steal it and letcha know how it goes :D}

    Wow, you altered the dress beautifully! I love the cape effect, yet how deceptive the belt has an all-around look. Very pretty, girl!
