Altering the Dress Again...
I'm really tired of altering this dress... but when you loose a quarter of your body weight in a year, it's kinda inevitable -- and it's the only one of my gothic fitted dresses that even CAN be altered to my new size, so I suppose I should consider myself lucky... at least I have a dress that fits! (And I know, no one has any sympathy for my plight ;-) )
Anyway, here's the pictures:
The neckline's changed significantly... I like the neckline better from the last alteration I blogged about but I just couldn't achieve that, with the cut that was already there, the new chest size, and the need to be invisible underneath the V-neckline and placket of the overdress (the mockup of that is below). You can compare it to the necklines I was trying for here... it's not a perfect rendition, being just a bit too squared off, but not too bad, given that this is the 4th time I've significantly altered the dress!
Soon I'll move onto the brave new world of the overdress! ;-)
