My balloon top. Too plunging for me so I am supposed to repair this but I think it would be best if worn by kids. lol!

Instructions

  1. Small 1 1312748945

    Prepare the materials needed.

  2. Small dsc05346 1312748521

    Had to repair the teared part first.

  3. Small dsc05375 1312748645

    Just stitched this part instead so the damage can't be seen now and at the same time reduces the dress size.

  4. Small dsc05377 1312749034

    armpit part after Step 3..

  5. Small dsc05387 1312749225

    I did fold the excess size from the back for future resizing, then stitch.

  6. Small dsc05356 1312749524

    Now for the ribbon, just stitch one side then turn the fabric right side out. I used pencil to catch up the fabric from inside.

  7. Small dsc05362 1312749853

    The stitched part.

  8. Small dsc05365 1312749919

    This is how I closed the ends of the ribbon.

    And finished! :) Ribbon was detachable of course. So it can be worn in any clothes if you want to. Love love! :3
