A few small changes to a summer dress

20 C! (68 F!) i ran for my closet to bring out the summer clothes.
Better make most of it while it lasts (the weather forecast promises snow next week, maybe).

I hadn't worn this new dress yet, and as it turned out, its straps were too long.
And the bodice (is it the right word? I mean to say the upper part of a dress, when the upper and lower parts are made from separate pieces) was not my style.

Before:

I losened the knot, cut of the excess fabric and sewed the remainder together. Then I added a small strip of elastic to the middle.

After, a lot more wearable for me:

Wow! Great job! The dress is now less fussy and one can really appreciate how pretty the dress is.

I agree. Much better without the knot on the front. Lovely dress.
