I picked this dress up at the thrift store a couple years ago, so I don't remember how much it was, but it was probably about $5. It doesn't have a tag, so I wonder if someone made it at home. I wore it many times just as it was when I bought it. I loved it, but eventually I felt like it was just not actually that great. I don't know why or how, but one day I just didn't love it anymore. I put it in my closet for months, always meaning to wear it or alter it, but I never did until just a couple weeks ago.
Here's the only "before" picture I can find. It's literally the worst, so it might not be super helpful.
.
I shortened the sleeves. They were 3/4 length before. And I shortened the skirt. It was mid-calf, and now it's just barely below the knee.
This skirt may not look it, but it's HUGE. Hemming it took HOURS. There was just so much fabric to deal with. It was crazy.
Anyway, I feel like it's much more wearable now, and my love fore this dress has definitely returned!
