The beauty of summer evenings when the sky is so clear and the moon's already out! Wearing an original 1970s dress which I was pleased to discover had room in the seams to let out the waist a full 6cm! I had to get creative with the belt which was originally sewn into the back seam, by adding eyelets I was able to create a tie back belt using a piece of mustard coloured silk ribbon from my stash - just the right colour to compliment the bold pattern of the fabric! The best alterations are ones which look as though they've always been there. While I don't often advertise my alteration skills, I'm always happy to help get an existing garment to fit or make repairs to an old favourite!
