This dress was purchased in August 2014, almost a year ago. |
| Printed dress Jessica Simpson |
| After purchase I took it to the seamstress twice as it was too big, and it still is.  |
| Black patent shoes Zara - Black obi tassel belt H&M |
However I liked the geometric pattern so much that I thought belting
it would work, which it did for the bottom part,
but not so for the shoulders…
 |
| Enamel bracelets |
Having to pull, tug and adjust the top part
of this dress all day long was exhausting and
it just made me look unkept.
Pull it back, hide the bra strap, then pull it down.
I was not comfortable.
This is the first and last wear for this dress,
which sucks because I really like the pattern.

i like the pattern too!
you could always make it into a blouse and a skirt if you don't mind getting it altered again!
or make pillows out of it!
It is very pretty....I'd use the material like Jane said. At least make a skirt from it! jodie

It is a shame it does not work for you, as like you said it is a very pretty print. But you want pieces in your wardrobe that feel as good to wear as they do to look at, so I understand you letting it go.

What a cute dress!
It's a great pattern for sure and the colours are terrific on you. Such a shame about the fit though. Could you perhaps have a seamstress sew it into a different garment (e.g., a skirt) or style of dress (such as a cap sleep dress) instead? That way you could keep the fabric you love, but ditch the fact that the dress doesn't currently fit you perfectly.

It's a fabulous dress, and I like the top part of it too. Why don't you have your seamstress put in little tabs at the shoulders, for looping under your bra strap? They used to do this on dresses all the time - it's a strip, like a ribbon, with a snap fastener on one end. The strip goes under your bra strap, then snaps back to the dress. No slipping, no sliding, and your bra straps never show.
