What to do with a shapeless dress

Vicky "won" this dress on ebay- when it arrived I was so excited to borrow it. As you can see in the detail shot of the neckline, the whole thing has really cool embroidery and the neck is faded into a pinker shade that actually looks great.

Unfortunately when I put it on it was completely shapeless in a way that just a waist belt won't help. Instead I hiked it up a bit and folded the fabric to hide the belt, then I added some green tights (American Apparel), mens wing-tip oxfords (also ebay), and some ghetto-fab earrings.

The key to this outfit was having enough going on to keep up with the dress and make it younger without going over the top. Mixing colors and adding fun accessories made it work.
