The altered dress will look fab and the sequins will twinkle as you dance. I buy RTW with the intention of altering it. Problem is, I actually do it about 50% of the time. I have a Zara blouse/bodysuit on the dress form now that needs an extra 1.5 inch in length to wear comfortably. Don't ask how long it has been Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130373796093129769.post-42212424665891741822017-04-26T14:00:26.675-04:002017-04-26T14:00:26.675-04:00What a clever save!
