Now, how many of you can't stand strapless dresses? I'm going to go ahead and assume a lot of you just sighed in frustration at the thought of pulling that damn dress up all day long. It's annoying, right? I bought this great dress from Urban Behaviour a couple years ago, but the top is a little loose, and it's not very comfortable without straps to hold it up. The solution? Make it into a halter dress!
To do this, you're obviously going to need matching fabric. Lucky for me, the dress came with a matching belt, so there's my fabric! Then find matching thread, and get yourself a needle and scissors.
You're going to loop the belt (or fabric) from one end of the top of the dress to the other. Pin them to the dress and then try it on to make sure the straps are in the right place.
As you can see, I chose to keep the belt intact. That way, if I ever chose to, I could use it as a belt again. If it bugs you, you can always cut off the buckle. You'll see below that the buckle just sits inside the dress, and can't be seen.
Use a thick needle and sew the belt (or fabric) to the dress, where you've pinned it.
When you're done that, you're finished! No more annoying strapless dress that you have to keep pulling up all night.
Good luck with your own DIY projects; let me know if you try this one!
Happy Styling! xo
