Finally… I’ve managed to alter my dress, or rather, I’ve finally managed to choose a new bodice! 🙂
Here is the skirt with the new bodice – the Sabrina Bodice – by Charm Pattern (Patreon). Here you can find my old version and the reasons why I altered this dress in the first place.
About the Sabrina Bodice – pattern:
As always, brilliant! Gertie really knows what she is doing! And even though I still have to make a few adjustments, there are very few of them – something I haven’t experienced with other patterns!
In this case, it was basically just my standard adjustments, which are: narrowing the shoulders, repositioning the bust point, and taking out a bit more width under the bust via the single side dart.

So what do you think? Were my alterations worth it? And what about you? Do you ever alter things just because you’ve realised you don’t really like them after all, or do you just leave the item hanging in the wardrobe?
