My middle daughter came to me an hour before we were leaving for her Commencement Ceremonies asking me "could I please alter this dress", that I made for my oldest daughter last year....... to fit her.
Lucky for me the boned bodice did not need any alterations.......I used a McCall's pattern 5850.
The hem needed 4 inches added but I did not have the same skirt fabric so she picked out this pink silky fabric from my stash to match the pink inside of the dress.
I know it seems easy just add a hem but when you are under pressure with your daughter standing there saying "come on Mom its like your on Project Runway".....not even close I tell her!
The front..........
The skirt part of the dress was my own design & I added the neon purple zipper. I quickly added the back skirt vent.........not too bad for an hour of rush sewing.
