I hope all that celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time with family and friends and have lots of yummy leftovers!
About two weeks ago I bought a gorgeous blouse on ebay, brand new with tags. It's waaaay to large, but I knew that before I placed my bid and no problem there. I can easily take it up, but the shoulders are causing me a bit of a problem. They are about 2 inches it not a smidge more too long and droop down my arm destroying the beauty of this piece. I would suppose the only correct way to remedy this problem is to remove the sleeves, cut the excess material, thereby shortening the shoulder seam, and reattach the sleeves?
I've thought about putting in a dart on each shoulder but not sure how this would look. My quandry lies in the fact that my sewing skills are not that polished and am rather nervous about removing the sleeves, cutting the excess material, and then reattaching the sleeves. I've searched this site for previous posts on this but nothing helpful came up. Either that or my search skills were lacking.
Any thoughts and solutions on my problem?
