I changed the collar by pulling it down under the bust and bringing it high up around the neck. The collar is wider and folds as it goes under the bust it does not lie flat. I increased the gathers under the bust and gave the dress a sweet heart neckline. I made the sleeves longer and wider. I removed the buttons on the cuffs and made the cuffs wider. I changed the skirt to a pencil skirt which goes in and then has a slight flair. The skirt has darts rather than panels in front and back. There is a seam at the waist where the skirt attaches. The lower bodice has darts for shape. I took the buttons all the way down the front. I changed the fabric to Ponte. ********@Mary Saldana Thanks for the suggestion to try this without the little ruffle :) |
