I did A LOT to this dress, I dyed it to cream so the whole dress would be the same color, I raised the waist line so it wouldn't be like a v - shape waist - line, cut off all the tulle, cut the
length of the dress to
right below the knee -
length, took off the lace collar, lace - bib, cut off the lace cuffs and cut off the sleeves and made it smaller and shorter
length, took in an inch from each side
of the dress, cut off the
train and the giant bow in the back and gathered the extra lace from the sides to add to the back.
