Ought some tops last week.
They were on sale so they were a good deal
Only problem was they had elastic along the bottom attaching the binding
This made them hook under your bottom and make you look way fatter than I am.
So I removed the binding and elastic
And then did a little hem.
Now they sit flat and give me a much nicer shape
And I need all the help I can get
All three tops are now done
Way better than putting them in the back of the wardrobe and forgetting all about them.
Tops with elasticated hems always shoot upwards on me and bunch up around my middle. It is NOT a good look!
ReplyDeleteYes. That was another problem. That is now gone
DeleteWhat wonders you can when you're handy with a needle and thread. I hate elastic at the bottom too. Not a nice fashion
ReplyDeleteYes -- BOO to elasticized hems!
ReplyDeleteExactly. Why oh why have them
DeleteI'm all for altering to fit, getting use from items that didn't quite work before. I wonder who can wear those elastic hem styles.
ReplyDeleteThe very young and athletic
DeleteElasticised hems are the devil's work! Well done for making them fit properly.
ReplyDeleteI blame the great British sewing bee lol
DeleteGreat job. I hope they were a good deal to have to do extra work to style them properly.
