Gorgeous dress! and Happy Anniversary. I think it would make a great top too.

Very cute dress! Definitely make another one now that you know what tweaks you want to make.

I have this issue and was considering this dress. Thanks for the warning on the neckline. Your dress looks great, I agree that you should make another one now that you know how you want to change it up. Happy anniversary.

Super cute! The neckline doesn't look that low to me, but then again we tend to wear lower necklines in Europe without much problem. It's a shame to not wear this again just because of that though. Is there no fix to salvage it?

squirrellypoo, the neckline wouldn't be so bad, but after checking 2 stores I couldn't find a bra that wouldn't show at least an inch at the top. I ended up using tape, and tucking the facings over the top of my bra. It's really only the corner that's too low. This was only supposed to be a muslin since I didn't think it would fit, so I don't mind making another in a brighter fabric. I might wear this to dinner again, and tape it.

That is really cute on you & the perfect length. It doesn't look too low to me either.

I had a similar issue when I made this dress. The only bra that seems to work is a balcony bra.
