Too Long, puffy sleeves and way too small, this dress has them all!

I found this amazing vintage dress and snatched it up immediately. The sleeves were amazing and I absolutely loved the color. I needed a dress that was fancy enough to wear to a wedding as well as one that I could dance in.

The back was even prettier... except that this dress was WAY too small.  While I could get my arms through the sleeves, the armpits were REALLY tight. The neckline choked me and it wouldn't zip up at all...

After letting out all of the seams, and taking off the sleeves, I was able to fit into the dress! 

And now the back of the dress zips up!

The dress had a huge circle skirt so it twirled fantastically while dancing.
