Fellow stitchers - I have a problem - I am upcycling an evening dress into an evening skirt - but I am having problems with the volume of material (my daughter has a 25 inch waist and 37 inch hips and the dress doesn't) and coming up with an idea for a fastening (can probably use a zip but wanted not to)
At the backk there is a sort of pleat which the top/outer bit is showing - if I put a zip underneath in the seam how do I close the top layers?
The front looks apalling and I can't work out which seam to take in or how far down the skirt?
& I am sort of blocked
