Butchery!

I am currently in the process of butchering the LBD - not happy at all after picking it up to wear tomorrow.

Things I don't like! the sleeves, the waist, the back.... maybe I should just start again....

Sleeve fix - I have cut away most of the should strap leaving maybe half a cm at the most to which I am sewing the lace sleeve back on to - much lighter weight and less should oppressive!

Back fix - I am off to hunt out my iron on interfacing to hopefully stiffen the slash sides - then I think I shall put eye-lets down the side and lace the back up with some bright turquoise ribbon I have.

The waist fix - Not sure about this at all! I may try darts in the dress once I have sorted out the back. My only other option is to grow 6 inches....

Onwards - tonight shall be sponsored by lucozade!
