So…… I found one of those clothing items that you see on the models and think, OMG SO AWESOME I WANT IT AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! Well then you save up for it, and THEN the size you want sells out, and then you are like, “Well maybe I’ll get the bigger size and put my intermediate sewing skills to work!”
Yeah…..
Anyway I had my work cut out for me when the shirt I bought from Sexpot Revenge arrived. I was swimming in it!!!
This is usually the case from me no matter where I buy from, I’m just too small to fit anything. If you tell me to buy children’s sizing I will literally come through your screen and hit you.
I usually have a little more luck when I buy brand lolita, but usually the bust or shoulder area and the length are always a problem for me. Well, if it doesn’t fit, MAKE IT FIT! That’s my stubborn belief anyway.
So I studied to see how this garment was put together, took lots of photos of seams and stitching for reference. I worked on one side at a time actually, most people wouldn’t do that haha. There was so much to be done; width, length, shortening chains, straps, recreating thumb holes, etc. After about three days of toiling, I had success!
Yay! I like how it fits much more now <3
