I hope you had a wonderful Easter!! I got to spend it with my family for the first time in a really long time. It was so nice for us all to be together and I got to meet my nephew for the first time.
Before we left for Texas last week, I had gone to Walmart to get an oil change and while I was walking around I stopped in the clothing section. I was surprised at the selection of dresses. I had already gotten a dress for Easter, but I found one that looked a lot like one I had seen at Anthropologie and decided to change my outfit.
Here’s the Anthropologie version:
The Walmart version cost only $15, compared to $128.
I love the look of the dress, but wanted to add a little bit of length. I thought I would add some lace I had to the bottom, but didn’t have the time to get my sewing machine out. The solution was to use fashion tape. It worked great and only took a few minutes.
I just started on the seam and worked my way around the hem using short pieces of the tape.
Here’s what it looked like with the lace added.
I was worried about how this would hold up, but I wore it church and it held up great.
I added a sweater and pair of boots to complete the outfit. I was going to include a picture of me wearing it, but it was SO windy and none of the pictures came out.
I hope you all have a great week!

Love the color and how you made it personal, also can’t believe how much it looks like the $$$ Anthro dress! I see a Walmart trip in my future ….

Wow, what an incredible copy of the big price dress. If you hadn’t told us I would never have known which was which. $15, that’s great and I love the color and style. Could wear a scarf with it, a belt, adding the lace at bottom for length was genius. Bet you looked really pretty in the dress. I’m not much of a dress person but think it would be nice to have one nice dress to wear for a nice occasion. Loving it.

Cute! And where did you get the fashion tape?? I’ve wanted that stuff for years and don’t know where to get it.
Angela says
Jill, my mom bought it for me but she said she ordered it online.
