Working Out That Knot In My Back

Worn: May 20, 2013

This was the first of my black banded Macy's dresses. I bought it even though I wasn't wearing dresses very often at the time, as I was quite taken with the pattern. I wore it not long after that, struggling to tie a neat bow in the back. Then I ended up riding in a car for a couple of hours, with the knot pressing painfully into my spine the entire time. I set the dress aside as a bad idea and only revisited it recently, when I was evaluating clothes to keep or give away. I altered it the same way I did this one, allowing me to start wearing it again.
