Zoe came home with this dress after a weekend away. She loved the colour and print and figured yours truly could do something with it. It was a size 20 and needed to be majorly resized. I just ran the two side seams in right through the sleeves (as they needed to be narrowed as well). This saved removing the sleeves and re-attaching them (I would normally do this, but could get away with stitching all the way through the sleeves because the material was so soft). I also stitched in the back seam and re-folded down the opening at the neck. I re-attached the little button loop and the button. The bodice was cut off and the waist seam was moved up. Then thin elastic was stretched and stitched onto the waitst seam to give the dress some definition (it was a little tight, so needs to be unpicked and done again).
