Hi everyone,
I am looking for a litle advice, I have a very skinny 5 1/2 (that half is important!!) and I'm about to start making the Seashore Sundress for her first day of school (we love in GA so its not crazy to do summer dresses for the fall). I have always lengthened and decreased the waist width in the O + s patterns in the past- usually I have done the size 4 and made it like size 5 or 6 in length. Skirts and pants are easy to lengthen, and I've done with the pajamas and some others too...
I am a little confused about how to attack it with this pattern- should I try to put in the extra space at the waistline? also, I probably need to take it in, but since the pattern (5-12) doesn't show the width for a size 4 where should I do that?....
Any advice for how to do this smoothly? She starts school in 2 weeks so I don't have a ton of time to do muslins (yes school in GA starts ridiculously early!)
