Lil Bit of Needle and Thread Goes A Long Way
I purchased this 1950s, 100% silk dress from Dame for $5 last week. However, it was too big in the shoulders and the hem was torn. With a little bit of pinning, cutting and sewing the dress fits perfect. We cut the shoulders, pulled the fabric up and made a new seam. As for the bottom, we trimmed the hem and sewed a new one at knee-length. Sewing silk is tricky so beware of pulls or tears and keep your foot steady on the sewing machine pedal.
