To rid of the additional material she used what looks like an affordable bangle and an elastic band.

‘I love this idea!’ one person wrote, another added: ‘This is actual fashion magic.’
‘Wow it’s really useful and so pretty at the same time. I have to try it,’ a third added.
The hack would work best with slip dresses as the material is light, while other fabric – such as polyester – might be harder to use.
The bangles can also be tied to the front or side for an alternative look.
