I had bought this vintage dress once upon a time ago and loved the
fabric and the structure, but it kept reminding me of funeral attire.
Very prim and proper, if you will. I was subconsciously adverse to
wearing it, but quite unwilling to let it go. My mom saw how beautiful
the skirt of the dress was, and suggested I cut it. "Oh," I uttered softly.
Wondered why it never occurred to me before. I went into a frenzy that same afternoon and altered several vintage
clothing. In my eagerness to wear this skirt, I didn't realize was how see-through it was until it was too late. Probably why people were giving me stares... Must remember to wear a shift underneath next time.
I normally don't do my hair, but felt inspired after reading this post. While it looks no way as beautiful as that, I thought it looked nice anyway. Ohh, look at all that frizz...
What I wore:
Shirt: Sample sale in Fashion District
Skirt: Vintage from Ebay
Flats: Target
Very cute outfit, my dear! I love it. Is it a skirt or dress? Im assuming you tucked the shirt in a bit cuz of the low back cut?
ReplyDeleteThank you! It used to be a dress that was not very flattering on me at all. So, I cut the top and altered into a skirt.
