Let me start by restating that in no way am I a seamstress. I know the basics, if that, so any sewing instructions that I give are very unprofessional. The first thing I did to this dress was remove the sleeves. They were very fluffy and I just wasn't feeling them. Off they came, along with the green velvet trim on the front. I also hemmed the length to just above my knees. Next, I decided to turn the dress around and make the front now be the back and have the zipper in the front. I had one more thing to do to "fancy" it up. I wanted to add lace to the back. At first I was just going to at the lace over the top of the fabric that was there. With a little thought I decided to cut the fabric out and replace it with the lace. Now it is see through and definitely updated. I can't wait for a reason to wear this dress!! (holiday party anyone?)
