It would look great over white tank/white capri leggings or black tank/black capri leggings. Cutting it shorter might make it appear wider, so pin and try on first. It's a gorgeous color on you, and I love the lace detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556729 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 14:24:07 +0000 Anonymous 556729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556726 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 14:17:28 +0000 Jjsloane 556726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and the lace. I would definitely try without the belt and a slightly shorter tunic length. Can you pin it to show us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556646 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:06:03 +0000 Kirti 556646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find! The colour suits you and is so on trend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556553 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 04:36:26 +0000 san 556553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very pretty.

But before you do, how about trying some shorter-length leggings under there first?</p> <p>That lace is lovely and the colour very unusual --- what a lucky find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556528 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 03:58:43 +0000 missvee 556528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's such a pretty colour on you. I would try it without the belt and play with some different lengths before you cut it off. You may find that it needs to be taken in a bit at the sides too. That would give you the opportunity to add some side slits if you wanted too. It's certainly a nice piece and worth a few minor alterations to make it something you'll really love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556409 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 02:12:29 +0000 taylor 556409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a really pretty color dress , I like the suggestions:)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556403 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 02:04:28 +0000 soobee 556403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh oooh, I love that neckline! Soo flattering! Great colour (color) and style, I agree it would look great shortened to a tunic. Maybe a different belt, or no belt, rather than the matchy matchy one that comes with it. What a great find, and for a great price too, you're a fab bargain hunter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556352 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:46:46 +0000 Abie 556352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I was thinking shortening would be a good option. It's completely lace, so it might be difficult to find the right stuff to later under at dress length, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556339 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:08:17 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 556339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a habit of looking at pics before reading the post. I was planning to suggest that it would look great shortened to tunic length over skinnies with boots in winter or over a pair of slim white pants in summer.</p> <p>Lovely color on you Abie and great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-find-emerald-lace-dress---diy-or-styling-potential#post-556314 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 22:21:56 +0000 Abie 556314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this Emerald lace dress at a thrift store for $2. The photo does not do the color justice its a very nice emerald shade. </p> <p>I'm not sure what to do with it yet. I have it over the skinnys and black tank I was already wearing to show what it looks like. </p> <p>The tie can go in back or front. Should I cut it to tunic length, change the neckline, switch the belt? Make it into an overjacket or shrug?</p> <p>I figured if it didn't work out I could make an overlay dress for my 16mo so it wouldn't be a waste. The color is really beautiful. </p> <p>Sorry for the bad pics. eep. </p>
