DIY: Is Your New Purchase Just "Not Quite Right"?

Whilst I usually reserve my hacking-things-up skills for op shopped or handed down clothes (mainly because my skills are lacking and the risk is high), I recently bought this dress that was just crying out for a quick alteration.  It was just not quite right.  The dress was purchased mainly for its seriously cute print, but was simply unwearable (to put it lightly) with the clashing shades of green in the beads and in the print!  Really.  I just couldn't.  #fashunproblems

Before de-bead-ment

I put the dress on to go for brunch, packed scissors in my bag and then ordered PX to both de-bead and take photos of the result.  Doctor's orders!  He had to comply. (hahaha my favourite joke at the moment)

After de-bead-ment

Is this not far more clean and cute?  Yes, I tell you.  I mean, if it really needed beads they could be mint green, right?
