Instructions

  1. Small screen shot 2013 08 26 at 14.58.41

    this is what it looked like before

  2. first i placed the zipper on the dress to measure out where i needed to cut.

  3. Small screen shot 2013 08 26 at 14.59.14

    i liked the detail on the back of the dress so i turned the back into the front i cut down the middle of where i wanted my zipper to be.

    i cut out the original zip because it looked ugly and lowered the neckline as it was originally the back of the dress.

  5. Small screen shot 2013 08 26 at 14.59.32

    i opened out the top when i cut it open

    i then flipped it over and cut out the back to make a lace up back design.

    then folded and hemmed all raw edges

    then i stitched on the zip to the front opening

    on the back i stitched on ribbon loops on either side for a lace up back detail
