Hello Readers. How is September looking for you? Things are OK where I live but If you are on the west coast there is fire and terrible smoke. It looks just awful. I'm so sorry. I really hope you are all safe and well.
I am not sure where I got this polka dot dress. It may have been at a clothes swap before Corona shut everything down. It may have been a hand-me-down. (I know it was free because that's who I am.) Either way, it didn't fit well. The arm holes were too low and there was some side-boob. It was also supposed to be loose and flowy but it seemed overly loose and a little to billowy.
The revealing sides worried me but I knew I could fix it. I am all about free clothes and being thrifty but the fit is also important to me.
I made 2 new side seams and made the dress a little more narrow. This is a really easy fix and this nice dress is now a great dress.
This dress is so versatile it can do it all. (Like most modern women.) It can get dressed up for a regional meeting that could have been an email. Or it can be dressed down for weekend comfort and fun.
Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
