For warmer weather nude booties would be divine.<br /> I like the length of jackets 1 and 2 best, but if I saw 3 by itself would say it is almost perfect due to the cut and colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742410 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:14:47 +0000 bj1111 742410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@angie, i just ordered a pair of casual studded booties...of course, in black. we'll see if this sorts me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742409 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:14:15 +0000 bj1111 742409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sylvie, i just had it taken up at the shoulders. this moved the hips to the correct location on my body and allowed the dress to drape better in the torso. the scoopneck became a cross between a boat and a crew, but it's not really noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742398 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 05:42:02 +0000 rachylou 742398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742395 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 05:36:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 742395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Mochi's comment. The dress is a perfect fit. I like the 2 darker jackets - the light one not so much but maybe with different shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742339 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:59:32 +0000 Suz 742339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing at Mochi's comment! </p> <p>And sighing in pleasure at the blue of that dress. It is gorgeous - and what a wonder to have had it altered so well. It looks just stunning on you. I like it with all the jackets. It's so beautiful in texture as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742330 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:44:00 +0000 Mochi 742330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am posting from an iPhone. I meant to say "alterations." Not "keg rations." Though if we were to throw a toga party, I'm sure it would be fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742313 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:23:28 +0000 sarah 742313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a difference! Hooray! The jackets all look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742281 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:39:29 +0000 san 742281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing. Thank you for showing us what alterations can do. I actually didn't know that Nordies did more than hems. Beautiful dress on you and love all of the toppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742279 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:38:09 +0000 Sylvie 742279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, they did a great job with the alterations. I really like the moto jacket in #1 with the dress. If I may ask, what specific alterations did they do? Hoping this will help me/others understand what is possible to get things to fit perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742275 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:36:43 +0000 Thistle 742275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that dress is smashing! The tailoring made a world of difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742270 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:28:20 +0000 siniestra 742270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love what ur doing there with the jackets !!! i love jacket 1 and 3 !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742267 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:19:17 +0000 cciele 742267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color and fabric of that dress are gorgeous! So glad the alterations worked out -- it looked OK before but the tailoring really smoothed things out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742242 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:46:06 +0000 MNsara 742242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It turned out perfectly! A great example of how alterations really make a difference ;-)</p> <p>I like that last jacket the best - the way it has a waistline and its mesh back. I prefer the light jacket in #1 to the dark. I think mostly because I prefer the shape of the front hem worn over the shape of the sheath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742234 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:41:07 +0000 Anonymous 742234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yey!!! love the dress!@ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742231 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:38:27 +0000 Angie 742231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! So glad that this is a happy alterations story. </p> <p>I like all the toppers too. Divine! Now all you need are those nagging booties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742218 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:31:09 +0000 Mochi 742218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice dress to start with and with the keg rations it looks lovely on you!</p> <p>Jeanne, at least where I am, at my Nordies they'll take on anything, though if the item's not from the store the rate will be higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742175 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:36:00 +0000 Jjsloane 742175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful job. Love my Nordies tailors. If only they'd do all my items (non-Nordies) I love the 1st and last jacket. The light one is ok, but not as striking to me as the other 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/miracle-workers-at-nordies-a-dress-rescue#post-742161 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:09:57 +0000 bj1111 742161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>some of you may remember a k/r on a br macrame dress (#1). i had the alternations done at nordies (#2). am delighted to have kept the dress.</p> <p>possible toppers in #3. the last jacket, i tried to show the back with a sporty mesh weave back. </p>
