Husband: What...?
Me: Take it, it's my "Before Photo". I should be frowning and looking sad. Here, let me try it. Oh, it's so not working. Cheese, take the photo! Take it! Cheese...
Husband: As you wish...
Height of fashion, baby! Pale face, check! Frumpy dress, check! Sexy socks, check!I'm a total fashion plate :D
Anyway, I hardly ever wore this dress (except when I was really pregnant) because it was ill-fitting around the waist and bust. It was also too long for me, cutting me off at the most awkward length.
After bringing in the sides, it is a little more flattering. The hemline is also brought up, and... I added Ruffles with the extra fabric I had cut off!
It's hard to photograph a black dress, so I to overexpose this photo to show you the ruffle details:
Cute, eh? It looks a little bit like a butterfly.I may enter this dress into the Ruffle Your Stuff contest:
I've seen some of those contest entries, and they are fabulous. I pretty much don't stand a chance, but I will enter, just to say that I took part in the contest:)

The after looks wonderful!
very cute dress, the "after" version is a total success!
LOVE it! You should DEFINITELY enter it in the contest!!
I am so copying this! Haha.
Did the husband really say, "As you wish"? :D
Oooh! I love that neckline. It really does look like a butterfly. Great work!
I'm wondering if it would be worth the plane ticket to fly you down here and pay you do re-do my ENTIRE wardrobe. I'll get back to you on that one :)
very cute! I might steal the idea too ... Will have to check out the link for inspiration!
*squeee*! The dress turned out adorable!
And you should totally enter the contest....even though I chickened out. I saw the first few entries, and I just couldn't do it.
So...you do it for the both of us!
It turned out beautifully Su, those ruffles are really adorable..Great job!!!
That is just what the dress needed! It is so very cute!
