Upsizing a dress for my mother-in-law #sewing #upsizing #tailoring

    First I love the relationship you have with your mother in law. She felt so comfortable reaching out to you and asking for your help which is so incredibly touching. Also I like the fact that you included the mistakes you made during the tailoring process, because it lets regular people like me know that making mistakes is okay and that being patient is key. Also the dress looks perfect on her, I'm so glad she asked for your expert help 😊
