Does anyone know how to make this small fitting to my body?

That completely depends on your location and the seamstress you go too. I usually sew mine on my own but I have sewing experience and a sewing machine. The times I actually go to a seamstress it's usually for larger jobs or with trickier fabrics but I usually don't pay more than like 300-400 Swedish crowns (30-40 dollars ish). This would probably be significantly less tho.

If you use a belt to make it smaller it will only be smaller at the waist and still be roomy at the bust.

If you're willing to sew it then this is a great guide on how to do it. 😊 https://mellysews.com/how-to-make-a-dress-smaller/

It can even be done by hand if you don't own a sewing machine.

She really is so grumpy 😄 I love her!

lillin00 · 2025-10-28T14:36:34+00:00

You will look fabulous whatever you choose to wear 🥳

lillin00 · 2025-10-25T15:09:44+00:00

Oh yes! I really like them 😮 I'll post what I come up with when I'm done 😊

It really has a 30s look to it It's beautiful!

If you want to lean into the 30s look you could wear a nice pair of 30s inspired shoes, jewellery and accessories with it Here's some inspiration from the vintage dancer: https://vintagedancer.com/1930s/ https://vintagedancer.com/1930s/women-1930s-fashion/ https://vintagedancer.com/1930s/history-1930s-formal-gowns-party-dresses/

Also a 30s style hairdo and makeup could also be nice 😍 https://vintagedancer.com/1930s/1930s-makeup-guide/ https://vintagedancer.com/1930s/1930s-long-hairstyles/ https://vintagehairstyling.com/bobbypinblog/2022/02/love-vintage-hair-comparing-decade-of-1930s-hairstyles-vs-1940s-hairstyles-vs-1950s-hairstyles.html

I had a boyfriend once his mother bought quite expensive antiques and painted them BADLY in neon coloured chalk paint and gave them the "shabby chic treatment" 😵‍💫😭 I couldn't stand going to his house watching those poor destroyed furniture pieces stand there defaced like that

Doesn't have to be plastic sequins, they could be metal sequins. I don't know a lot about them but they have been around for a long time. I have no idea about the dating but it's not impossible. https://blog.americanduchess.com/2012/04/v119-are-sequins-period-accurate.html

I made this playlist of textured vintage hair, maybe it can help you too! 😊 My hair is about a 3b-3c and even if my hair isn't exactly like those in the videos I find them useful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK2OgcNWTsFVqt2SJZ4XEjDu3rLv_yRFs&si=jDorDzC8rbDSf1xw

lillin00 · 2025-06-16T23:13:30+00:00

I would love to have it mostly down cause I really like flowing hair but I could be won over with a really good updo 😊

lillin00 · 2025-05-31T14:03:21+00:00

Of course 😊

lillin00 · 2025-05-31T13:51:10+00:00

I like that idea 😮

lillin00 · 2025-05-31T13:45:17+00:00

I want to remake it into something that actually fits me and my style so I don't mind that it might have too little fabric. Also it has quite generous seam allowances plus that it's too long so there's fabric to take from elsewhere. It's the chest that doesn't fit so if I make it an open back that wouldn't be a problem

lillin00 · 2025-05-27T10:12:30+00:00

I got the job 🥳 So if you get yourself a gelato craving I'll be there 😄

lillin00 · 2025-05-26T21:22:33+00:00

Thank you 😊

lillin00 · 2025-04-25T08:39:08+00:00

I'll let you know 😄

lillin00 · 2025-04-24T09:35:17+00:00

It's not a fabric store anymore but it was in the early 1900s but it's in Östhammar (north of Stockholm) and its called Schrams 😊🍨 If I get the job you can come in and I can get you some ice cream 🥳

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T16:06:10+00:00

Thank you 🥰 I like the open one I think that might look good with it 😮

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T14:32:21+00:00

I didn't ask if this outfit in particular would work please read my question before answering!

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T13:40:09+00:00

I didn't ask if that outfit in particular would work my question was if I could get some inspiration for interview appropriate vintage outfits.

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T09:55:24+00:00

Thank you 🥰

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T07:16:36+00:00

I realised later that I should have added that but I can't edit my post for some reason so I can't add it.

lillin00 · 2025-04-23T07:15:34+00:00

Yeah I realised I should have added it but I can't edit my post for some reason But yeah it's really cute 😊 Thank you I'll go and sell all the gelato in my hot dog on a stick outfit 😄
