You always want your dress or skirt to be the perfect size. But often after the first wash, the length becomes shorter. The thing becomes a little shorter, but you feel uncomfortable. It seems that everyone is looking at open knees.
These 5-6 cm are easy to return in many ways:
1) The easiest way to sew a strip of fabric to the hem. If there is no exactly such material, then any suitable solid color or mesh will do.
2) You can lengthen the dress with a frill. To make everything fit from the same fabric, make a belt.
3) With lace. You can sew it on the edge or insert it, departing from the bottom by a few centimeters. Or sew on at the waistline.
In this way, you can update your things.
I have a favorite knitted dress that I have been wearing for three seasons. I will decorate it with a strip of lace.
Previously, I had to do this: I measured a few centimeters from the bottom and cut off part of the skirt. Then she overcast the edges, tucked it up and sewed lace on top. In that case, accuracy is required. At the slightest shift, even by 1 cm, the dress will be skewed.
Now I do everything exactly the same, but in a different way.
- On the dress, I measured 5 cm from the bottom and drew a line in a circle. I swept here elastic lace with wavy edges. I did this on both sides.
- I connected the lace into a ring. She stitched it on both sides. I cut the dress in the middle of the lines.
- Overcast the edges of the fabric close to the stitching.
- I tucked the overcast edges in different directions, laid finishing lines on top.
- It will be nice if you make two parallel strips of lace, and insert them on the sleeves.
- To lengthen the bottom, you need to take a lace or other insert wider and bend them in the middle (make a fold) when tasting. When you cut the fabric, the lace or insert straightens out, and the dress lengthens.
Here, lace is a decorative element that refreshed and changed the dress, despite the black color.
All the best!
