I am not very good at sewing, but I do have an old machine and a little practive. I bought a prom dress that i am going to make into a halloween costume, but it is a little too small in the bust.
How do I let the seams out so that it is about 1/2" bigger?
How do you keep it from looking bad where the other seam was?
Are there going to be lots of little holes?
It is a normal, strapless, A-line dress, and I am going to add red ribbons that go from the wasit over the top and down to the waist again to look like suspenders (I will wear a belt too), so should I "let it out" at the princess seams so that the ribbons will cover it?
Or is there a general rule like you let it out on a major seam like under the arms or at the zipper?
Thanks!
