How to Repair a Low cut Dress






The dresses you can get now-a-days are ridiculous, I think. They are either low in the chest or short in length, or both. Today I am going to teach you how to close up the chest of a dress.

1.  Find a piece of fabric that goes well with the dress.

2.  Cut the fabric to a size that will fit inside the dress, and will look nice. And will close up the opening to desired height, plus a little to fold over to make a nice edge.
3.  Fold the edge over, pin it, and sew, This will make a nice straight edge.


4.  Now turn the dress inside out, put the patch where you want it and sew as close to the original seams as you can.


Now you have a nice new repaired dress.


Tips

It is best to use a sewing machine, but if one is not accessible for you to use you can hand sew it to.
When you sew the patch on make sure not to sew the back to the front.
