Went with my initial solution idea which was to put in a 'modesty' panel at the front of the bodice so that it didn't sit so low at the front:
I also chopped a good few inches off the bottom of the dress and levelled it off so it is now a smock top:
All in all, a much better result, so I'm very pleased with it now. Will get much more wear out of it, rather than it hanging in the wardrobe until I give it to the charity shop!
But what are you going to do with the leftover bit?????
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a very short dress, as there was only about 3" of fabric left over!!! A pair of matching pants maybe?
