Vintage 50's Prom Queen

I can dream, can't I? Another dream would be that this dress wouldn't have a huge rip in it! But only I have to know that, because I covered it up with a flower!

It works pretty good doesn't it? For $6, I figured it was worth the try. Another idea I had would be to remove the top layer of tulle/netting over the bodice. Then it would just become a strapless gown, which would be nice except that the layer underneath is a little faded...I think I'll leave it for now. More clothing pictures to come!
