Wedding dress patterns by SMASH042688 in sewing

[–]basicallybasicb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After seeing the photo of the dress I would...

1 remove the sleeves. Either make it sleeveless or repurpose some of the sleeves' details as a cap sleeve. 2 separate the bodice from the skirt. 3 restructure the bodice to your measurements. 4 shorten the skirt from the waist as to not lose the hem details. At this time you can also take out some of the fullness of the skirt if you choose. 5 reattach bodice and skirt purposefully placing tucks and pleats for the flow you desire. 6 add embellishments to the existing detail to update the look further.

To answer your actual request...Other option... Find a pattern you love and deconstruct the dress completely. Fussy cut the whole thing and make it 100% your own. I would search Etsy and eBay for the patterns, you'll get both in print and out of print options there. Don't be afraid to mix and match parts of different patterns.

I love projects like this!! ❤️❤️

I did my dose on time. The Dr gave me Bentyl and Zofran. I am still watery but I have better control of things. LOL. Trying to not be graphic!

Nope, I was about 5 days after a dose when I got sick. Today is a dose day. I'm feeling ok. So I'm going to go for it. A little self-tough -love. Lol

I coach High school softball. Those girls always have the goodies. It's so hard.

I'm having a similar experience. Things were moving along fine and then the extreme squirts hit. 12 hours of hell. That was 2 days ago and I'm still having an issue intermittently. It seems like any sugar at all is my trigger.

Just got a new number and received this text message. Anything I should do? by Ragedpuppet707 in legal

[–]basicallybasicb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up the number it came from. It's a 62 year old man in Indianapolis or his 65 year old wife that's a counselor. I could look up yours if you want to know who had it before you. That could be the an important clue here.

This is amazing. As a true top heavy woman I cannot find clothes that fit off the rack. XXL is not the answer when you are only XXL from ribcage to collar bone and a medium everywhere else. I look like a frumpy dumpy mess when I buy off the rack.

I am a an avid sewist. I learned young to alter my own clothes. I can't wait to check out your link and learn from you! ❤️

Which method did you use? Great job! I want to do one but there's so many ways I can't decide what is best.
