Often times when I am shopping I always look at the sale rack to see what treasure I can find. I was shopping at AJ's Boutique in Chevy Chase (check it out if you never have...the girls and the clothes are great there). I found this Nanette Lepore dress on the sale rack for 80% off. I loved the dress but it was too short for me. Because the dress was so affordable...It was the perfect opportunity to tailor the dress just the way I needed it. My tailor added 2 inches of black fabric to the bottom of the dress to make it more appropriate. It cost me $20 to tailor it. Have you thought about buying something that wasn't quite right and making it exactly the way you want?
