I removed the buttons from the back and the little ones cinching up the sleeves. I sewed the back closed since the collar was plenty big enough to go on and off over my head. I cut a few inches off the top portion and reattached the skirt higher to raise the waist. I also trimmed and hemmed the skirt to more flattering length.

Much better.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteSUPER cute!
ReplyDeleteNOW you've got me puzzled: was about to do 'reverse' (= make a drop waist) to a 'bust-dominant-short' = may be I should 'stop' in between?
ReplyDeleteLG, Gerlinde
'think-scratching' her head
The dress looks sooooo much better now

Your piece of writing is outstanding. Nobody can compete this site to others. Bidinis
ReplyDeleteGerlinde, it probably depends on your figure. What I've read is that you should pick your narrowest point to put the waistline. That's different for different people!
ReplyDelete@ Jenny-o:
ReplyDelete;-) - "narrowest point..." would bring the waistline to exactly where it's currently (nearly) already: breast-hight !
O.k., o.k., apologies for being 'logically-funny' yet: it might indeed create some (minor) 'head-aches' here.
LG, Gerlinde
with thanks for confirmation of my suspicion about your mentioned recommendation
