Make a ribbon belt. This is a cheap and creative way to change up your spring dress. Many dresses have ribbon accents. Just take a ribbon and wrap it around your waist. Tie it in a cute bow to get the correct length for your body type and your dress. Then, just cut off the end that's attached to the spool. You can make a diagonal cut on each end of the ribbon so it appears more finished. If you aren't up for creating a belt, see what you have in your closet. Belts might not be the obvious accessory to wear with a dress, but they are making a comeback. Belts add color and help define your waist.

You can also try a variation of this to make a colorful hair accessory to dress up a spring dress.
