Holiday dress problem, help? Hi guys, Luma's Holiday card exchange dress I ordered her from Bloomingtails came today, and it is ridiculously short. Lots of you know--she is 4.5 lbs but her measurements are 14in. long :eek: and girth of 12in. So she is super skinny, but because she is soooooo long...we have trouble with clothes fitting. This dress is SUPER short on her. It looks like a t shirt instead of a full length, formal holiday dress. I dont want to return it. So my options are to find someone on YT who could add a trim to the bottom, or maybe a pair of frilly bloomers/underwear to go underneath. What do y'all think? Is it possible to add a trim, or would it look weird? The dress is velvet and has tulle poking out from underneath. The gap between the hem and the base of her tail is almost four inches. Anyone who could help us? :( |
Oh that sounds cute. I would add more underskirt layers instead of adding trim. Maybe do two layers, one self fabric in a contrasting color and then another layer of tulle in the same color as the original tulle. Post a pic of it so we can see! The bloomers idea is super cute too but adding the layers will be much cheaper and easier. |
I agree. I would add an underskirt. You can either just get the same color tulle or a contrasting color of tulle....personally if it is an elegant dress I would just use the same color tulle. It would look like a tiered tulle dress. |
I should add there is also a big tulle bow on the back, wiith an ornate pin in the center. I think itd be overkill to add even more tulle for length. I hope someone who sews will see this...I am feeling discouraged and I want to get it fixed ASAP so we can take the pic for our card. |
This dress sounds beutiful...we need to see a pic of it!!!!! |
A picture would help alot for ideas. |
1 Attachment(s) Sorry, I dont have my camera with me, so the quality is bad..cell phone pic. It's a million times more beautiful in person. Here's poor Luma's tooshy all exposed :p |
1 Attachment(s) And her standing up, this is after I had tugged it down as far as I could. I want it to go to the base of her tail. Also, I ordered a simple red and green bow from Bowbiz to go with it. |
I do sew. I would take the tulle that is on it off and add a longer piece of tulle or satin in the same color. The differnet textures would work well. That would be the easiest way of fixing it. |
I'm thinking to add a gentle, large ruffle, either the same or contrasting material, contrasting if the fabric can't be very closely matched, and maybe repeat the tulle under the ruffle... (PS: Capt Noonie is a professional seamtress/designer) |
