I bought this dress from Target a few weeks ago, and because my fiance thinks it oogy to wear things that haven't yet been washed, I immediately threw this baby into the wash so I could wear it STAT. Yeah, you'd think I would know to read laundering instructions first.
Dress: Target
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: CATO
Earrings: Claire's

The day I originally planned on wearing this dress, I pulled it over my head, only to discover that this gorgeous beauty, which was already right at the limit of how short of a dress I would wear to work, had shrunk itself several inches. Tres Basic Instinct.
Of course, the label said to line dry. (What, you mean that's not a setting on my dryer?) As dear fiance and I were concocting a scheme to take said ruined dress back to Target, I decided to try one last effort: get the dress soaking wet, and hang dry, in hopes it would stretch itself back out to a decent length. That never works, right? So I thought, but it DID work, thus bringing you this purty little outfit.
*whew*
Love that dress! my mom told me that they were on sale a couple of weeks ago- I wish I would have seen that and gotten myself one! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius. I never would have thought to hang it to stretch. So glad it worked!
ReplyDeleteI would have relegated it to my weekend wear or waited to wear it with tights for work.
I love the purple and green together!
This dress is beautiful. The colors look great on you. Thank goodness for a little ingenuity!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress! The print is lovely~
ReplyDeleteI try to read laundry directions before even purchasing.
Okay, I need to go to Target RIGHT NOW and find that dress! The colors, OMG.
