Remember this lovely dress and the nightmare of a zipper job?  Well, it's all fixed now and ready to go to a new home.  I replaced the turquoise nylon zipper with an off-white vintage metal one.  I also removed the velveteen band and bow because the dress was dirty.  It washed beautifully, and now, with bow reattached, it looks as good as new.

I normally would not put so much time into a dress, but this one was just too special not to rescue.  It will be on etsy later this week, probably even tomorrow.  Here's a view of the "new" zipper:

Oh, much better! It's gorgeous!!

Oh that dress is darling, I am so happy you saved it.
I would buy it for sure to wear to my birthday! But I dont even have a spending budget right now.. so its for out of my price range. lol.

Good work! :)

Breathtaking!

Oh, it looks ever sweeter than I'd imagined. I knew you'd work wonders. Totally adorable dress, and GREAT save.

Stunningly pretty dress. I love the whimsy and elegance of the bow down near the hem.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend,

I was wondering where I could find it on Etsy. I LOVE It!!:)

Fabulous job! The world needs more rescuers as talented as you are.

It's sooo pretty! Definitely worth all the affort I think!
