I couldn't believe my luck when I found this dress while thrifting. I tried it on and it was a smidgen too tight in the hips. I checked the seams and saw that there was a little room to let it out. I checked the price, it was $6, but then I found out it was half off! For $3 I took the chance that I could make it fit.
I let it out as much as I could, but I still wasn't comfortable. I waited...in the last two weeks I finally got rid of some baby weight that was still hanging on. I tried it on again and wahoo! It fits! :o)
Now I"m still on the fence if I should remove the sleeves or not. What do you guys think? I could leave it as is, or I could make it a racer back.

PS: Please forgive the not so great photos. Yellow foam all around, low light, camera problems, bleh!
PS (again): I was super pleased that this dress goes perfectly with Share-In-Style: Summer, so of course Linking up there! :o)
Great dress and I could immediately tell you'd lost weight! Good job. Nothin' like a good outfit for motivation, haha ;)
ReplyDeleteRight! I kept staring at those sailboats thinking, "It will fit, it WILL fit". :o)
DeleteThat is super cute! I think removing the sleeves might make it even more comfortable. And the thing I love about sleeveless is that it layers well. You know, without having to straighten sleeves out underneath a jacket, etc...without the sleeves it would look more like a little vintage dress too.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts Joni, I'll be keeping them in mind.
DeleteAwesome dress for an awesome price!!! Good deal!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Hollie!
DeleteYou look good in this dress. It like it very much, the beautiful print and the colours are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Neumon :o)
DeleteI love this dreamy colour combination! So pleased you visited my blog - now I get to see your fabulous creations! Looks like the perfect fit! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gema, it was a treat to find your blog. :o)
DeleteJJ, it is true I had no color in me because I had no blood flowing correctly. I am so glad she fixed that problem with blood infusion. I also think I am doing better on this chemo 6 because of the blood.
ReplyDeleteOk, I love the yellow tights. You pulled this outfit off great!!!! ♥
Maybe you should have worn yellow tights when you were so beige, it would have brightened you up. :o)
DeleteCool outfit :) and i like your blog!

Thanks and thanks :o)
DeleteWoo!! I love when I lose a little weight and can fit into things I've been saving! I would say remove the sleeves, because I think it would look adorable without them BUT depending on the weather where you live maybe not?

If I go by the weather, then they should definitely come off. :o)
