Dress taken in at the bodice
Alteration service. Price on request.
A dress taken in at the bodice, shown on a dusty blue sleeveless sheath with the side seam pinned from the underarm through the waist and chalk marks along the new line. Taking in at the seams brings a loose bodice back to a smooth, close fit without changing the neckline or the skirt. The new seam is pinned at the fitting so you can see the shape before anything is cut. The fit is custom tailored to your measurements.
