Today I played seamstress. I say played cause I am not actually one, I just like to pretend. Sometimes it turns out well, and other times not so much.
Exhibit A- Leather dress. Well not real leather, but kinda like. A hand me down from a friend who lost weight, and a lot of it came from her boobs. No matter how much weight I loss, mine always remain. Dress fit great, except for the torso. Mine is short. So ripped out the shoulder seam, cut out some of the shoulder, redid the shoulder with gathers for the excess fabric, all good until time to deal with the excess trim. I accidently cut it where I should have not, not a lot of extra fabric and thus .. this. Can't win them all. Will have to wear my hair down if I ever find an occasion to wear the dress. Makes me wonder where she wore the dress.
Exhibit B:
Not sure where I bought this used French collection XL shirt. Really liked the pattern, and thought it mostly fit. Not so much. Realised it was way to baggy and was going to donate it when it dawned on me I could just take it in on the sides. So I did and now it looks fabulous. Luke photobombed my shot so he could show off his beard so show how hip he is. Mostly it is just grey to me.
