Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!
I went our for dinner this evening and I wore the River Island Grecian Dress that was featured on "Its A Date" Blog post!!
You will never believe what happened,when I went to actually purchase the dress there was only one left in my size and it was an "imperfect item" so I inspected the dress to see what the problem was it was a broken zip!!!! PTSH that is sooo easy to fix!!!
Better still the dress was put from £59.99 to £14.99 yes you read right and I typed it Rightt!!! Isn't that just AMAZING!!!! I was soooooo chuffed with myself!
Now what I was supposed to do was get a replacement zip and give the dress to a tailor to work on,it was literally like a 10 minute job!!But I totally forgot about it,so 5 mins before we were leaving as I was putting my dress on I remembered, so this is what I did:
Firstly I turned the dress inside out:
Then I got safety pins and lined them down the zip,I swear without safety pins my life would be so incomplete!!!!!!ALWAYS ALWAYS keep these handy with you,cause they come in use far more then u think!!I rely on these SO much and they never let me down:
This was the dress turned out the right way,can you tell where the pins are?Not bad for a quick 3 minute job costing under 99p ay?
THE RESULT:

Hope this helps!!!And also proves that sometimes purchasing imperfect items that are going to save you £45.00 is NOT so bad after all!!!
If ever you come across items with broken zips/buttons then have Faith cause they can always be FIXED :D
