After seeing
this dress, I knew I wanted to add some ric-rac to the collar of one of my dresses. I choose this pretty pink one because I hadn't really been wearing it much but with my new bright pink hair, I think it looks really fun!
Here are the before and after photos...
Not a super big change, but I think it makes the dress extra cute. And...it was so easy. I have recently made friends with the glue gun so I asked it to help me with this project. I just started the ric-rac at the back where the zipper is and glued it around the neckline all the way to the other side of the zipper. Easy? Easy.

That looks like it's been there the whole time! It looks adorable :) x
ReplyDeleteAdorable! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! :):)
ReplyDeleteThat's cute :)! I can't believe you did it with a glue gun. Do you think you can wash it that way?
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love my glue gun too. We're BFF's!! :)

So so cute!!! A very simple yet elegant touch. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAhahha the last photo made me crack up. You're a stunner, Elycia. And I love the look of the dress when paired with the brown belt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks adorable now... I love how such a subtle thing can make a BIG change. Very nice. :) And the belt and shoes pull the whole thing together wonderfully. Sea Marie
ReplyDeleteit looks very pretty..:)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I put my bra on not thinking about what I'm wearing and forget what's happening until I get to work and think...wow. You're an idiot. I love this dress. i love the ric rac. I love you. So much love.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was safe with a white bra yesterday (isn't the whole point of white bras that they don't show through stuff?) but NO, I spent the day with gleaming neon bright boobs poking through my T-shirt. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe ric-rac is super-cute!
that is such an awesome idea! there is another diy i have been wanting to try but keep forgetting and your post just reminded me....adding lace to cut off shorts, may sound weird but i say it on a blog and i fell in love!
ReplyDeletexo,

I love it! Now to find something to add ric rac to...
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Now I'm gonna have to add some to my dresses too! :) P.S. I make that black bra mistake every time. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the bra. However, I didn't notice until you mentioned it. ;)

hahahaha!!! I probably would have put on a black bra too. :) Love the ric rac! I have some vintage packs from my grandma's sewing shop. Must use them.
ReplyDeleteHAAHAHAHA I love the black bra part. So funny.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I recently inherited some green ric-rac and had no idea what to do with it. I'm going to have to try this. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute detail! and your pink hair is suuuuuper adorable on you.
ReplyDeleteI just thrifted a dress for my toddler that has ric-rac and I was just a little jealous. Now I can add some to one of mine! I am big on throwing everything in the washer though...I wonder if the glue gun glue will hold. Did you use fabric glue sticks or just regular ones?
ReplyDeletei just used a regular glue stick. no work yet on whether it lasts through the wash! Another option would be sewing the ric-rac on by running a stitch through the middle of the ric-rac. that would definitely hold in the wash!
ReplyDeleteI really like this. So simple yet it does so much, I can think of a dress that black ric-rac would look perfect on!
