Stripey Dirndl Revamp!!

So I bought this beautiful dress online with the expectation that it had a lot of potential...ah hem! So! Here is the original dress!

So I played around with some ideas! Pins and lace and pins and lace!

And then I just played around! Ha ha!

Anyway, it seemed pretty easy! Lace around the middle, pulled up the shoulder straps two inches, and then sewed the bottom.

I think it looks great! It goes fabulously with that shirt too! :D
