DIY: Make a Dress More Form Fitting

I got this cute dress from Chicwish. There’s nothing wrong with the dress and the quality is excellent, but being small and petite(I am 5′ 3″), the length and the size drowns me a little bit. So I did a quick alteration to make it more form fitting to my body.

BEFORE:

I took several step by step pictures but I must have deleted the pictures, darn it! So here’s the rundown on what I did to the dress.

AFTER:

Dress | Bag: Nena & Co. | Boots: Old Navy

Estimated time: 40 mins.

Budget: $0.00

Skill level: Intermediate

I worked on this dress right before I was to go to a Kingdom & State and Nena & co,’s blogger party. I always think a project would take way less time than it actually turns out and I was 20 mins. late picking up my friend but I got it done! Tan, the owner of Kingdom & State is always awesome and I met the owner of Nena & co., Ali for the first time and she emits such positive energy and kindness, I love her company even more now than I already have before! As an entrepreneur myself, I love meeting women whom are so talented and are able to grow such a successful company. I only hope I can follow in her footsteps!
