I’m a style expert – I elevated a cheap $15 dress using a simple undergarment, people were amazed by my tip
ONE style expert couldn’t deal with the “cheap as chips” dress she bought.
She has shared her trick that elevated the $15 dress with one simple undergarment.
Andrea (@andreasfashiongalaxy) posted a video of her using an old piece of clothing to spice up a flat gown.
The fashion-obsessed creator wasn’t planning on keeping the full-length floral dress in the condition she bought it.
She loved the vibrant print, but she thought the piece appeared low-cost. And that’s not her style.
“At first glance, there’s not that much wrong with it. But on closer inspection, you can tell it’s cheap,” she said.
“The material is as thin as my patience for nasty people.”
Andrea thought the dress needed a proper zhuzh, and there was one way to do it.
To make the gown appear more expensive, Andrea layered a petticoat underneath.
The white undergarment fluffed the skirt of the dress to give it more volume.
Andrea said: “Suddenly, there is a bit more gravitas to Mrs. Cheapy. When she moves, she moves elegantly.”
She emphasized how these skirts can be purchased at low costs.
To complete the look, Andrea put her hair up. She added dainty jewelry, nude high heels, and a red handbag with a pearl strap.
Over 1,800 women commented to agree with Andrea’s tip for elevating a cheap dress.
“We need more petticoats and especially more dresses designed for big petticoats,” one advocate admitted.
An appreciative viewer wrote: “Holy s**t. In all of my years of sewing, I never thought to do that. She literally just solved the I’m too poor to buy expensive clothes and fabric problem.”
One kind person noted: “Beautiful. You saved that cheap dress elegantly.”
“This is how you properly style an outfit or dress without having to chop it up,” a YouTube user added.
