I would try altering the side belts, and for not staying invisible I would throw in some chunky contrasting accessories(a big cuff, a bright color or black and white color blocked and &nbsp;well structured&nbsp;bag/oversized clutch and some animal shoes). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152991 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 11:04:29 +0000 kkards 1152991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmmm, anne i'm going to disagree, i understand you have nothing financial to lose in altering the dress, but it seems to me that this is the sort of outfit that you were complaining about a few weeks ago….the post about how the twenty somethings at work were making you feel invisible. maybe you should pass this one along to someone else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152985 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:36:29 +0000 Deborah 1152985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a nice dress Anne and would be lovely for summer. &nbsp;The colour is very light but if you wanted you could add a bit of punch with accessories. &nbsp;Definitely worth the alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152966 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 08:48:34 +0000 anne 1152966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bit on trend then Vildy.<br />I have to confess I wouldn't have chosen this dress myself to actually buy but it pretty much fell in my lap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152793 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 03:13:28 +0000 Vildy 1152793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>reminds me a little of this interesting new clothing brand Atea and their <br />pleat pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152768 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 02:38:06 +0000 anne 1152768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - yes you are right - after all it is just sewing on&nbsp;4 buttons&nbsp;and Donna - the back seems to fit ok (I have a bigger back than front, it seems!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152762 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 02:34:38 +0000 DonnaF 1152762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is the back?&nbsp; Does it pouf out at the seat and shoulder blades?&nbsp; If yes, then taking it in on the sides might be a better option.&nbsp; If no, then moving the buttons would be an easy fix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152752 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 02:25:17 +0000 Suz 1152752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess you could try it, Anne, and see.

Still 3 to 4 pounds above pre-Christmas. It is fun though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152709 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 01:55:15 +0000 Anonymous 1152709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this because of all your biking? You are looking good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-alteration-1#post-1152706 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 01:54:21 +0000 anne 1152706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got handed down this unworn dress yesterday. It is a size or 2 larger than i usually wear (pic 1)<br />But it occured to me that I could just move the buttons in on the waist tab and wear it like pic 2. Easy alteration.It would still be a bit looser under the arms than ideal but might just look ok.<br />I am not sure the colour is the best on me but I could wear it with colourful accessories</p> <p>Please exuse the wet hair and 6 year old photography </p>
