altered Gypsy05 maxi

I finally had the chance to get my maxi altered.

I was very nervous about getting the alteration done… no way was I going to hem the beautiful bottom, but was worried about cutting fabric out of the bust area due to the color gradation.

Anyway, I found an amazing tailor on yelp, and she was amazing! She even saved the Gypsy05 tag and reattached it on the final dress, and I didn’t even have to ask her to do it.

As a point of reference, I am about 5’1″, and had to remove about 3 inches from the bust area. I still have to wear wedges with this dress though. I thought the dress might look too weird if I wore it with flats/flip flops because of how short I am, plus the gradation would be more noticeable if I cut out even more fabric.

Gypsy05 maxi dress

I think I’m in LOVE with the maxi dresses from Gypsy05! Especially the Liza maxi dress (retail: $207):

I love the gold leaf detail along the bottom and the color gradation! Here’s the blue one on Paris Hilton:

Here’s a red one on Tori Spelling:

I’d love to get one, but I’m afraid it’s going to be really long on me, and it’d be a shame to have to hem the bottom!
