Hello Readers. I loved this dress. I thought the colors and design were so pretty. It was great but as a short person, you can see what happened. It's way too long. That's OK, I can fix that.
Before and after.
The
drawstring waistband really did a lot of work to make this dress fit but I thought the prettiest part of this dress was the
colorful ruffled hemline. I didn't want to get rid of that. But I needed to make that dress shorter.
I decided to remove the middle of the skirt. The dress didn't need all the fabric from the middle right?
I wanted re-attach the colorful hemline piece to the dress again.
I used clips to hold the bottom piece to the dress. I made sure the fabric was spread out evenly along the skirt.
I used my
serger to connect the 2 pieces. This would keep the inner edges from fraying.
I ironed the dress a little to make the new seam smooth and flat.
I loved the new length and I was glad I could keep the colorful hemline. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
