oh my gosh these freaking pictures refuse to go to the next page!!!

The second picture I really love. But the third is more what I want- cap sleeves, open back with a little clasp at the top. (remember I'm talking about the top and open back part, not the whole dress) Now I simply cannot justify buying another expensive white one-time use dress, so I thought maybe I can get my dress altered to somewhat resemble the backs of these dresses that I like so much.
I already thought about getting some sleeves added because the straps it has are like bra straps and are not very nice. Plus I plan on dancing all night and I don't want the thing to keep falling down! But I don't know if I'd be able to get the open back like I like.
So here's some pictures of my dress. (I just noticed it has a nice stain on the back, hope dry cleaners can get it out!)
I'll wear it with those shoes
Not to give you a boob shot, but I wanted to show the pretty lacey thing in the middle which I thought they could use as inspiration for sleeves/straps?
The back, which is stretchy and why I think it wouldn't be able to be altered too much.
So questions- what do you think about getting it altered? Do you think it would look nice with little lace cap sleeves? Do you think it could be altered? (yes I know, ask a seamstress) Any other opinions or thoughts?
Thanks!
Oh my gosh. And I just remembered- I totally wanted to make these for the actual wedding. But now I have time to make them for our fake wedding! Rice maracas! I can paint them or make them pretty somehow. But one of my favorite bars had them and I think they were so much fun. Here's a picture of me with one--
Just a plastic bottle filled with rice and a stick stuck in the top. Rice maraca!!
Check bridal consignment stores, they will have loads of pretty dresses. Though... thinking about it, I'm not sure CR will have any? OH WAIT YOU'RE GOING TO NC soon.
