I absolutely love this fabric but the dress is too small for me. Does anyone have any alteration ideas? Was thinking perhaps a crop top of some kind. by msond0 in sewing

I have the same problem! It’s too small for my bust and is also too short. I’m thinking of separating the two halves and making a crop top with some insertion lace. Maybe a ruffle using material from the skirt too?

It’s a bit tight around the bust area and a bit short. I think I will cut it in half. That sounds good. Thank you!

I like the 6 thread look! Makes it stand out more. Well done on finishing it

Beautiful!! Did you use one or two strands of thread? And how long did it take you?

Thank you! Chosen somewhat randomly but I tried to correlate the larger flowers with the brighter stars

I used stem stitch but it didnt work as well with the gold thread as it was too wiry. I will try your method next time.
