So I bought a dress the other day instead of making one from scratch because I have about 2 weeks to have it done and I'm slow at sewing...
(sorry for the tiny picture, I couldn't find a picture of the dress anywhere else online)
Well, does anyone have suggestions on what to do? The dress comes about to the knee on me.
I'm going to make a petticoat to floof it up a little so it has an A line, but not like a square dancing dress (unfortunately I don't know how to make a bell shaped petti) and I was thinking of adding lace trim to the bottom hem and replacing the halter straps with thick black ribbon and turning it into a jumper.

I'm not sure what the back of the dress looks like but perhaps some simple corset lacing would be nice. I would wear a blouse underneath though.

The back is about the same height as the front, maybe a little lower. Although, on that model the dress is a little low...when I wear it the neckline is higher. I dunno, it looks a little more modest or whatever you'd call that. razz

eyelet trim would be great on the straps.
