I’m really surprised that I’ve never posted this dress here before – it’s one of my favorites! Although it’s technically a fall/winter dress, it transitions beautifully into summer. The skirt is a full circle-skirt with no seams, propped up by a beautifully-crafted, built-in petticoat. The top is backless with underbust boning and a halter neck. Since it’s denim, I can pair just about any shoes with this dress, my favorites being my raspberry blue wedges & my white converse low-tops.
My only complaint is that it draws too much attention to my hopelessly flat and bony chest, so I usually wear my hair down (as in the first picture) or throw a jacket over it. I’ve contemplated getting some padding added to the bikini-like top – has anyone ever had this alteration made on a dress before? I’m curious to know!
One of these days I will get proper full-body “outfit” shots, if I can teach my boyfriend how to use a camera, that is.

I think adding some padded would work well! I’m pretty sure it’s been done before and you sew really well! My bf can’t take a picture to save his life lol :[

Looks gorgeous! As for adding padding, I have bought padded bras on clearance and chopped off the back and straps, then sewn them into many a dress. Its so easy to make it look invisible, especially with all of the seams you have in the front. Use big stitches for easy removal, in case you decide you don’t want it later.
