I am a firm believer in tailoring; it can totally transform a piece. Before, my only adventures in tailoring were to shorten or take in pieces, but this time around, I had my tailor remove sleeves. I loved the print and shape of both dresses, but found myself never wearing them because of the sleeves . I almost threw them into my sell pile, but realized I could easily have the sleeves removed. This DVF dress had puff sleeves, which I found were a bit too girly for me. Sleeves removed, I now have a great dress for summer.
I have now worn my new wedges two days in a row. Yesterday I left my house at 8:30 and didn’t get home until 8:00 that night. My day was not spent sitting, either, and not once did my feet ache. They were worth the trip to Rack Room!
those shoes look fabulous!!! glad you managed to save this dress–the print is great!
I’m also a nut about tailoring. I have the best tailor, she has literally transformed pieces that I was not wearing into things I reach for all the time. I really like your DVF sleeveless. Good idea!
What a GREAT idea! Of course, that’s why you’re the professional and I’m not! Love it.
Great print!
So right on having things altered to suit your style!
