Halter to vintage inspired dress

I had this dress in black and bought this one on sale. It however is a difficult color and has too much cleavage for my liking. Also, since it was a halter dress and most of my bras aren't halter or strapless the straps were constantly showing which I didn't find very charming. So I decided to turn it into a dress with "normal" knotted straps, add some ruffles to disguise the cleavage and add a vintage inspired skinny belt, and now I'm loving wearing this dress again!
