So I'm working on an actual adult women's dress this week as a special order. Katie has a few similar dresses that her grandmother made and she wanted a new one so she brought me this vintage pattern to work with. The pattern is a size too small so I altered it to her measurements. Obviously she didn't want the big skirt ruffle or the big puffy sleeves. The original sleeve pattern was huuuuuge, like seriously 20" wide! Sleeve width alterations are my Waterloo...and yet Bam...in one go I altered that sleeve into a cute, reasonable, dignified, adorable little cap sleeve. #vintagepatternsewing #madeinrichmond #rva #womensfashion #womenscustom #sleevealterations
