Even more fun than unflattering “before” shots are dogtastic “after” shots.
I shortened my vintage secretary dress (and by “I” I mean “my tailor”).
Wore it with a vintage jacket and Givenchy tights to a girlfriend’s baby shower (congratulations KJ!).
And it looks so gosh-darned great, I’d be taking too much credit if I said I had anything to do with it — my sister bought it for me and my tailor did all the hard work.
But my pup’s poor manners? Those I can take full credit for.

Hi doggies!!! They’re so cute and look like so much fun to play with! Also, LOVE your dress now. It’s so pretty!
so cute. the doggies, the dress, and Givenchy tights.
It’s awesome! I like how you paired the dress with those amazing tights. Who’s Leroy’s friend? ;)
Oh my God!! I saw the dress before the “edit” and I didn’t think it coulb become even better!!
It’s just great, I’m speechless! And with that belt it’s just perfect!
Love your puppies!

Omg Bear’s jowls in that first pic!!! I thought I bought you that dress…I did good!
Wow, looks really awesome with the blazer. Nice work (taiulor), wish I’d found this one for the store! hehe
Love a floppy dog face photo!
Wow – you look fantastic. I love the colour. Your sister has great taste, your tailor does great work, and you wear it well!
PS: I have a dog with the same ‘playful’ manners… whoops.
Gorgeous look, darling!
Love those tights!

Great call on the tailoring of this dress. Ever so stylish.
Did your tailor just shorten the length or did you change the neckline and sleeves, too?
Great look for a baby shower. With all that blue I hope it’s a boy!
Gah! You look incredibly stunning in this outfit. I am basically obsessed with your tights. And the pups…gotta love them!! :)
Wow – I love the way you’ve tailored the dress! Have the sleeves/neckline changed as well? Would love a shot of the full dress, how you breathe new life into vintage pieces is so inspiring for a thrift/vintage newbie like me :)
What a lovely colour! You look fantastic in it. Great pick, Sister.
I had no idea you had a dog! Or do you have two? I have two, they look almost exactly like the ones in the photos, how funny!
Who is your tailor? I’m currently on the hunt for a good one because I’ve got a ton of blazers and vintage dresses I want altered but I’m having no luck!
