    I bought my dress last February at a consignment shop for $300. She's an old sample dress from Alfred Angelo. This is her evolution of getting rid of the brown sash and altering the neckline... and removing 36 inches from the satin under the lace. 

     

     

     

     

    This is her now. This was my last fitting. My seamstress removed 36 inches from the underlay satin. I wanted the lace to be more romantic and flowy. 

     

    How do you think she looks now? Only 2 weeks away!!

    My corset wasn't as tight here as it was in other pictures. So I think she'll look even better in 2 weeks :)

    Love the blue sash! And I think you were right to removed the underlay.  It looks great on you and for such a great price too!

    So beautiful! I really love the sash too. Excellent job on knowing what you want and getting it done. I have no imagination when it comes to figuring out what needs to be done to clothes to make it work.

    @mandigrl04:  I remember seeing you post your dress before with the blue sash and how much I loved the blue sash!!  The dress looks even better with the other modifications, I really like how the lace sits on the dress in your last picture. Did you have the belt custom made?
