Sometimes you just can't let it be

[frualeydis]

I finished a dress for Valeria, which I have been working on on and off the last month and half - hand hemmed ruffles, gathered skirt and other time consuming stuff. I have of course tried the bodice on before I sewed the skirt to it, but somehow it is still too big now that it's finished. Valeria says that it's good enough, but it really isn't; at a minimum it needs to be taken in in the back. So now the bow in the back has to come off and the lining at least partially removed. It is princess seamed and I need to take in both side seams approximately 1,5 cm. It's annoying, but the fit over the shoulders and back would annoy me even more if I didn't do it. Not tonight, however, since it's ten-forty and I'm working tomorrow.
