ALTERING BORROWED FASHIONS - THREE

ABOVE - BEFORE
BELOW - AFTER

Here is another delightful Magic Attic outfit that Sasha loves. These outfits often fit perfectly but from time to time they need a little nip and tuck.
Basically this outfit had two little problems. First, the sleeves are too long on Sasha. Second, the waist is too big so the skirt slides down to her hips making it look too long.
I solved the sleeve problem by simply turning up a tiny "cuff" which I could easily tack in place. The skirt was easily fixed by just moving the closing snaps in the back to allow the skirt to fit Sasha's waist.

The hat, knee socks, and wonderful platform sole boots all fit Sasha perfectly. This was another quick and easy alteration that transformed a slightly oversize outfit into one that fits Sasha perfectly.
