Hello Readers. Big loose dresses are so comfortable and fun. They don't always suit me well. An easy fix is to add elastic to the waist. It's just as comfortable but it has more shape.
Before and after.
This
cotton was nice and light and the color was perfect for fall. It even had
pockets. It also had a
waistband or a
waist seam. I could add elastic around the waist by sewing the elastic on the seam inside the dress.
I turned the dress inside out and used my
sewing machine to sew the elastic to the waist seam. I stretched the elastic as I sewed and used a
zigzag stitch so that there would be some stretch around the waist.
Here is a look at the inside of the dress. You can see the white elastic along the waistband.
The dress has a new shape and it will still be comfortable to wear.
I liked the new fit and it only took about 15 minutes to finish this sewing project. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
