Question
Hello, how are you going? My name is Christina and I live in Australia. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question :-) I saw a dress that I like on www.ebay.com.au (item has been sold / removed by publisher) It is item number: 160292343679 if you have time to look at it) I love the whole dress, expect the neckline, as it's a bit too low cut for me, as I hate having my boobs too much out.
I was wondering if you think it would look stupid if I get a small piece of material, like white lace or something, and sew it inside the dress, where the neck is, just so it will make the neckline go a little bit higher. So it will be like a small triangle of material at the neck. Would that look silly do you think? Or am I better off not buying the dress at all? If you think the material idea is okay, what kind of material would you put there? Like would you put white sheer lace, or lemon satin , or something else? Thanks heaps for your time, I do appreciate it a lot :-) Kind Regards, from Christina in Australia
Answer
Hi Christina,
I too think this is a lovely dress and unfortunately does appear to be cut too low to achieve a lady like look.
I understand your idea and I have made the same attempts to modify a dress that does not suit me perfectly. The problem you will find is finding the right material in the right color. If the color is just a little off it will make the dress look 'funny'. As well, if it doesn't stay put just right it will appear home made.
What's a girl to do? Your last option would be to find a cream or white camesole to wear underneath the dress, something lacy would look good, but it should lie flat against your chest, so look for something stretchy.
The other option is to wait for the perfect dress to come up for auction, but I know how hard that could be!!! - GG Flower
