Instructions

1. 

   this is what it looked like before

2. first i placed the zipper on the dress to measure out where i needed to cut.

3. 

   i liked the detail on the back of the dress so i turned the back into the front i cut down the middle of where i wanted my zipper to be.

4. 

   i cut out the original zip because it looked ugly and lowered the neckline as it was originally the back of the dress.

5. 

   i opened out the top when i cut it open

6. 

   i then flipped it over and cut out the back to make a lace up back design.

7. 

   then folded and hemmed all raw edges

8. 

   then i stitched on the zip to the front opening

9. 

   on the back i stitched on ribbon loops on either side for a lace up back detail

10. 

    then added the ribbon to lace it up
