Hemmed: Striped Maxi

Maxi Dress ($14): Kohl's (similar)
Cardigan ($11): Target (similar)
Scarf ($3.75): Walmart (similar)
Booties ($30): American Eagle via Payless (similar)
Earrings ($4): Kohl's (similar)
Bracelets: Gifts



I spent much of last Friday working through my repair pile.  This dress was way too long (as most maxi dresses are on me) and needed a hem.  I ended up just cutting the extra off the bottom so it would curl.  I've had this dress for a few months, and am glad I'm finally able to wear it! It has a racer back on it too, so it'll be great for summer.

Do you alter your clothes to fit you?

  2. I have a dress like that in gray and yellow stripes, only, it's too short! Usually I have the same problem you do with maxi's being too long (I'm 5'2")and sometimes I get tired of altering, so I bought a shorter style (without trying it on..ugh), too short for my taste, now I have to figure out some way of making it longer I guess...sigh.
    P.s. I love the cardigan!

    1. Oh wow, that is unusual! What brand is it? Have you considered just hemming it shorter for like a midi or knee-length dress?
