SO, I got a gorgeous dress from SHEIN a few years ago. And it is one I do wear kind of often. Except when it is hot, which is ALL THE TIME here. This dress is a gorgeous shear dress that has a flowy element that oh so me and oh so pretty. But here is the thing, the sleeves drive me crazy. So much in fact that I started to not wear it since I was hot in it. And the sleeves were puffy and great for going out, but I wanted this dress more versatile. SO, I grabbed a pair of scissors and went to town. I am a massive sewing enthusiast. Have you seen my Elsa costume? Yup made that with mom’s help but I did the intricate bead and sequins work. Anyways, The dress.
This is the dress, and yes, I love the dress. But I needed to have it more “Florida” friendly. More for me and my taste and style. Even though the dress before is MY style too. I got hot.
It is like having an all new dress! And All I did was take the damn sleeves off. Cool right? P.S. I fixed my foundation problem. Urban Decay setting spray people. The 24hr one. That is what you want.
The thing it wont fix is the camera acting wonky due to the temps and funky weather. But it keeps your makeup awesome!
I am going to apologize now for the OVER abundance of pictures with this dress. I am A. proud of the way it turned out and B it is too much fun to not take a million pictures of. Even if I am the one taking them.

Thank you Yuka!!!
I love the redesign! You know, I’m not crafty at all so it never occurred to me to fix simple things that don’t work for a piece of clothing. You totally inspired me to look through my wardrobe and see what I can try my hand out. You look gorgeous! XO -Kim

Ahhh you are so right!!! I love this print. I want to try my hand at making one with some similar fabric I found yesterday at Joanne’s
What a risk to take! The long, flowing sleeves make the dress majestic, but if it’s too hot to wear in Florida then what’s the point?! I think you made the right choice. It and you look beautiful!
Thank you so much Molly!!!! You are so right , I am glad I took the risk! 🙂
Oh wow, well done! And it looks really good! <3
Thank you so much rani!!!
