Made it work
Overall, it looked okay, but I had to safety pin the armholes to be smaller; otherwise, it gaped at the armpits. I'm also only 5'2 and it was very short. I wore it for 4-5 hours at an event, and it looked pretty trashed after. The material snags on everything and is not durable. But it worked for one night!
