Thanks, everyone! Hubs Greg loves this too. I'm extra delighted

SOOO GLAD I KEPT THE DRESS.

Stag, I'm pretty sure clever Brooklyn inspired the layering idea!

Brooklyn, now we are also long skirt layering twins

Suz, good point. I don't feel overwhelmed in the look at all!

Lozz_oz, I doubt it, but never say never......

JenniNZ, they worked out well.

Deb, HAH ........Jo is a Little Warrior Princess.

Unfrumped, if you are prepared to invest the time and roll with the punches - those sound like fun projects.

Love this! Yay for team save your favorites, and you look stunning!

I never would have even dreamed of layering over a tulle skirt, but this looks absolutely amazing! Your tulle skirt looks like it will definitely earn its keep. Oh, and the colors look like a perfect match on my monitor!

OMG - it was meant to be! YLF!

Beautiful! I’ve done this too with a black sheath dress and a black lace skirt. I liked the tulip shape that resulted.

Now you are ready for the ball!

So good you have the dress still, a perfect combination. Great bed making outfit

Round of applause for the ingenuity, it's perfect Angie and I think I would cry (slight exaggeration) if you hacked the length.

Layering gorgeousness!

Thanks for the cheer leading and compliments! I'm thrilled to be wearing my favourite formal dress again.

Jessikams, that fun tulip-shape is dead right. SOOOO comfy!

Star,

Jules, I think I'd cry too....

Brilliant! And it looks so good!

I love this on you! So perfect in every way. The lace dress is stunning, so I'm really glad you kept it.

This is absolutely genius!!! And truly a perfect combo; it really does look as if you've bought the two pieces as a set. And the combination makes for a unique and stunning dress, WOW!!

Gorgeous!

Awesome!! It's perfect! High five for Team Keep Your Favorites!

Awesome! The pieces look like they were made for each other!

Super pretty! What a great solution.

They totally look like they were meant to wear together. Perfection!

Ooh love it! I have debated doing something like that with a lace dress that I have, now I will seriously try to find the right skirt!

Thanks, everyone! It's a lucky pairing.

I'm pleased that others are having fun tweaking their formal wear capsules too

Late to this, but this is FANTASTIC, Angie! It looks like it was made that way.

Stunning and perfect solution. Now you need an occasion to attend.

Very clever indeed.

I can't recover over the fabness! The little secret trick turned out more than PERFECT!!! -so happy you kept the dress and the new tulle skirt will look gorgeous with a denim jacket!

*plonk*

OMG I just...

*plonk*

So genius!

With footwear the tulle skirt will not be too long.

Lyn67, YES! Fab with a denim jacket. You crack me up....

Mary, I wore that dress at its short length to your wedding! And you crack me up too...

Denise, lovely to see you chime in

OMG, you look like a princess,. beautiful, beautiful, I am speechless.

Mirjana,

Sharan, I'll be wearing the tulle skirt as a skirt most of the time - debut tomorrow night! - but this pairing is very handy
