  • Shrinking, widening, shortening - what can be altered in a dress?

    I recently found a dress in my closet that I loved a few years ago. But now it was too big for me, plus the length doesn't seem so good anymore. I decided not to throw it away, but to try to remake it. I took it to an atelier, where it was slightly sewn in the waist and shortened, making a modern cut. Honestly, the result surprised me - the dress looks like a new one! Now I'm thinking that maybe other things in the closet can be altered as well. Has anyone else done this? What alterations to a dress can give it a second life?
