The Mexican Dress

There are certain things in my closet that I am just not willing to part with, even though they don’t fit me the same as before kids.

This dress is one of them. Yes I said dress.

So this Tibi Mexican dress is actually strapless, which made it fairly easy to fold over some of the excess fabric and wear as a skirt.

The strapless portion is on the small side and I recall sizing up to get full coverage back when I bought it and now that I am left with a size larger cup size after my son was weaned it no longer has a flattering fit in the chest area.

But I love the embroidery! So instead of sitting in my closet for a few more years or consigning it I have to think outside the box.

Outfit details: Dress worn as a skirt Tibi (old), tank Old Navy, Sandals JCREW (old), necklace Ily Couture.

I am thinking I should get this permanently altered into a skirt. What do you think? Do you like this Mexican style embroidered dress?
