Loft dress |
I saw this really cute dress online at Loft. When I went to order it, the smallest size they had was a medium, I really wanted a small. I ordered it anyway to see how it fit.
Sleeve removed |
Well it was way too big on top but the hips were okay. I decided to take it in at the top but I couldn't just quickly stitch up a side seam because then the sleeves wouldn't be right. First step was to remove the the sleeves.
Armscye pattern |
Then I traced the armhole cutting line on some pattern tracing material.
New side seam |
I stitched up a new side seam, now the dress fit better at the top.
Cutting the armscye |
I then laid the pattern I had traced and recut the armhole opening. This ensured that the sleeve would fit back it properly.
Stitched on sleeve |
