Hello all!
I apologize for my week-long absence…things have been just crazy with Lil Tot going back to school and getting back into the school routine. And I have an announcement to make soon – can’t wait to share!
I snapped up a Stylestalker Space Jam T-shirt style dress from Shopbop in February – I just couldn’t pass up the cool pattern on it. (All it needs is a kitten shooting rainbows out of its eyes and then its the perfect Dark Side of the Moon-style CD album artwork. Or something like that.) 
Unfortunately it was the last dress left and at a size 4 it was a little too tight here and there on me (at the time in February). The mantra I live by:
So I went about to alter it to be a little more skimming, and here’s how you could do the same to a straight-shaped dress that just needs a little extra something:

Miu Miu Spring 2011 RTW, photo: Monica Feudi / GoRunway.com vs. Kaena Point Indigo Blue Dress, $49, Lulu.com
I loved the scalloping detail in Miu MIu’s Spring RTW collection this year. Apparently someone else did too.;-) Thanks to Lulus.com, we can all now own the scalloped-edge dress in a deep indigo, similar to what we saw at Miu Miu. (the scallop detail is covered cord in the Lulus version, whereas the Miu Miu looks like vinyl)
As a side note, I find the name of the dress amusing as Kaena Point is just beyond Hub and my favorite place in the whole wide world: where our secret beach lies at the tip of Yokohama bay on Oahu.
