Can't pass up a sale but it doesn't fit? Make it your own!
 <  Image 1 of 4  > 

I found a dress on sale at New York and Company but it was several, several sizes too big for me (picture 4), but it had a great swiss dot fabric and so I knew that I could fix it and make it even better.

It really took awhile to find what I wanted the dress to look like, as you can see, it doesn't look like the original. I had to do a lot of seam ripping and cutting, as well as some extra hand sewing, but it's definitely a favorite.

I'm considering if I should dye it another color, thoughts?

It's gorgeous, you did a great job of tailoring it. I think you suit the colour of it, so no need to dye it.

No need to dye! It is gorgeous. but if you want to give it a punk like flair you could put and iron on on theskirt part to add some flair! :)

The white looks very pretty on you. If you want to spice it up a bit though try just dipping the bottom in the dye. (=

You look good in that color, but if you really want to dye it I vote light blue.
