Strapless Dress Re-do

I have this beautiful niece who gives me clothes that she no longer wears or doesn't like and this week she gave me this really cute strapless dress with a side zipper. I love it but for me I knew I would never be comfortable wearing it without some sort of strap. I had this scarf that I had found while thrifting a while back and decided to try some different ways of adding it to the dress for straps. I sewed and seam ripped and sewed some more before I decided to do plain old straps.

This is the BEFORE.

I added this tulle to the bottom and then took it off because it just didn't look right.

And here is the AFTER photo with the scarf straps. Another self portrait, sorry.
