I imagine this must have made the closure a bit tricky.

I love the look of the full, pleated skirt and the pleats at the neckline are a really cute detail!<br />The dress looks lovely on you, but I think I see what you mean about ratios. Maybe it would look more flattering if the belt fell a bit higher, nearer to your natural waistline? Anyway, it's a great refashion and I love your thrift-luck - such lovely colored silk *and* a fitting bodice!Alessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605755512224178329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079172.post-88549022823168351232011-12-30T05:30:58.854-05:002011-12-30T05:30:58.854-05:00That is amazing!

I would never have thought to add pleats / ruffle trim / belt.
