    Thrifting can be so exciting. Finding something "with good bones" that just needs some help to join the 21st century makes me so happy. Would love to see more videos like this (when the ankle stabilizes) from a combo of 2 or 3 garments.

    The only thing I would change is cutting the lining short. It’s something companies do to use less fabric and save money so it always makes the dress look cheaper. I normally hate one shoulder but it is gorgeous on this dress. I hope you had a good time at the wedding
