My dress

Picture
I bought this dress at a POB sample sale and I decided I hated it as soon as I got home.  I spent  a few months looking for a new dress.  I found several I liked, but I nothing was quite right.  So I met with a seamstress who alter  dress I bought into what I want. 
   The seamstress will replace bodice fabric and add wider straps and belt like pictures below.  I think the belt will be the same color as the dress and have bling that wraps around my waist a bit more then in the bottom photos. 

I had my first fitting with my new bodice and I love it!  She still has quite of bit of work to do, but it going in the right direction.  She also removed 2 layers of crinoline so it much more me.

I tried on this gown and I really liked the way it emphasised my waist.
