Another drastic sweater size reduction
On this one I did try it on inside out and nip it in with pins. I took in the whole side seam, all the way from near the edge of the cuffs up the arms, turning at the shoulder seam and back down the bust/waist/hips.
I got this cute sweater (not even old, from Holiday '09) from Banana Republic at Goodwill Outlet, since I love grey and I love long sweaters. It was two sizes two big, however. I wore it once as a cozy sweatshirt-type look, but didn't feel that cute. So I took it in! The before:
That is SO SO cute.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Love that shirt dress too! Gonna have to hit the local charity shops Monday...
ReplyDeleteYou're a genius.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I want to find some big sweaters, so I can take them in! You can take a really big one and transform it into a sweater dress by taking it in (it has to be big enough that it is also long enough!) ! :o)

It never fails to surprise me how much of a difference even a small resizing makes.
