My first thought was to exchange it for a smaller size but based on the sizing charts the next size down would not fit at all, so I am stuck in between two dress sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So my second thought was to seek out someone locally to possibly perform the alterations needed. So I spent the day searching for the right undergarments for the dress and looked up several local businesses and even visited one today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My final conclusion after my experiences today is I know how to sew, I spent a part of this year making a gorgeous Lady Galadriel dress that consists of two gowns with flowing organza fabric and that maybe I should not be so scared to tackle something as simple as taking in a small seam on a dress just because it&#8217;s delicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned so many new things about sewing this year and even have a new sewing machine, while I was visiting with a seamstress today who was not very nice I was looking at my dress and looking at the seams and thinking to myself this would be pretty easy to take in an inch or so, I wouldn&#8217;t even have to cut away any of the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What exactly was I scared about? I know how to take in a seam without damaging the fabric, I think I just need to be confident in my own skills and knowledge that I can do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, today was one of those days where I kind of had an epiphany.
