Today's alteration, the third in my series alteration experiments, comes in the form of pleats. Once again, I'm starting with a button-up blouse that's too large for me now.
I added top-stitched pleats on either side of all four darts (two in front, two in back) to take in the extra width. I also shortened the sleeves and included a little pleat on each as well. My new top has a bit of a corset-y vibe, the way it's super fitted at the waist and abruptly flares out at the bust and hips. I think it's kind of interesting.
That's all for today! More details at CarissaKnits. I wonder what I'll come up with next...
