Alter a dress that's too big to fit. Clothes altering tips.

In this upcycled clothing sewing tutorial, I explain how I tailored a beautiful yellow sundress that I bought at a second-hand market for $10. It was probably one size too big for me but I couldn't resist it because of the sunny colour scheme and the beautiful detailing in the sleeves and skirt. With a few nips and tucks, I reduced the size and it now fits beautifully. #thriftflip #sewingtutorial #upcycledclothing #upcyclingideas #refashion #thrifting #upcyclingprojects #repurposed #upcycling #thrifting #upcyclingideas #upcycle #repurposeclothing #sewingtips #repurposeclothing The first step was to remove the buttons. I added these back in. To reduce the gaping around the neckline, I took in the seam at the front from the middle of the neckline down to the waistband. Next, I took in the seam at either side of the bodice, including part of the sleeve area, all the way down to the waistband. The sleeves gaped and I was uncomfortable that my bra was showing. And finally, there was a lot of fabric in the skirt which made the dress quite 'flouncy'. It was probably too flouncy for my short stature. So I took the side seams in to reduce the amount of fabric in the skirt. Because I had to cut off the excess fabric from the new side seams, I edged my new seams with a line of zig-zag stitches to prevent them from fraying. I don't have an overlocker so the zig zag stitch is my go-to. I couldn't be happier with how this project turned out. This affordable, well-made second-hand dress fits me well now and the neckline doesn't gape. The sleeves are modest and the skirt is no longer too flouncy. Let me know if you've done something similar to a thrift dress in your wardrobe. Thanks for watching and see you next time.
