You
know how it is. You have a dress that you love, but there's one thing that
keeps you from wearing it - this was that dress for me. I bought it on sale
from ASOS about two years ago but the thing that held me back was the top half.
To
be blunt, I have a rather large bust and halter dresses and tops can be quite
difficult to manage, so I left it unworn at the back of my wardrobe; but
while having a bit of a cleanup from moving, I decided to try it again. I still
loved it, but couldn't get over how my bosom (which had increased in size since
buying the dress) all but spilt out of it! I was going to add it to my 'to
sell' pile, but then I thought 'what if I use the belt to give myself a little
more modesty?' I simply used the belt to cover my bust and adjusted the belt
to accommodate the halter-top - a new dress was born!
Dress:
ASOS^
Cardigan:
South (via Very)^
Sandals:
Dorothy Perkins
I
now can't get over how much I love the new and improved look, and intend to sew
the belt across the bust so I don't have to fiddle with it every time I want to
wear it.

The
dress is so floaty and gorgeous. It's triple layered with a nude base which
works so well with the yellow and green pattern. The length is perfect and the
material is incredibly light - and yes, you do need to watch out for that wind!
I paired it with a simple cardigan and the cutest Dorothy Perkins sandals - the
perfect Summer outfit.
It
just goes to show that with a little experimenting, something that never worked
could actually turn out to be just wonderful.
'til
next time!
Love
and hugs,
