Much more flattering as a top, also the color change brings out the beauty of the lace shoulders.

Cute dress, but I'm not a fan of the sleeves hanging from the belt...
When you have to fight corona at 7 but you have to dress for the Zoom party at 9 (not sure if before is scrubs tho)
Sorry, but the thing on left - whatever it is - looks more interesting, the one on the right is just ordinary sweater...
Aww I kind of liked the vintage look and contrast of the before better… but I like the cut of the after
This one should be way higher up. All she did was tie it around her waist but still cute.
I mean, the dress is really cute - but that jumpsuit is awesome - I don't think I could have brought myself to change it!
