A few months ago I bought this ruffled front top from Ross. I washed it in cold water like I was supposed to and hung it to dry. The ruffles still managed to shrink up so that the shiny material behind them showed through. Since you can't take things back to Ross after you have washed them, I figured this was about to become a brand new grease rag for my husband. Instead, I hung it in the back of the closet to think about it for a day or two. After studying my other ruffled tops, one of which featured every other ruffle in lace, I decided to add lace to this one to fix it. One trip to Hobby Lobby later, I had some nice long eyelet and a roll of melty fabric tape. Turns out that the tape doesn't work, and I had to have my neighbor sew the eyelet on, but now my "fashion disaster" is a unique top that I plan to wear this fall with a white cardigan. Sometimes, a little creativity and a little help from a friend can rescue you!
