Hello my dear friends, how are you? I have the opportunity to show you a very simple way to adjust a dress and reduce it to a smaller size. It is a quick and easy way to make this adjustment, so I invite you to see the step by step.

Hola mis queridos amigos, como estan? Tengo la oportunidad de mostrarles una forma muy sencilla de ajustar un vestido y reducirlo a una talla más pequeña. Es una forma rapida y facil de realizar este ajuste, asi que les invito a ver el paso a paso.

Materials we will need to reduce the size of the vevsido

  • Pins or Sewing thread and needle

  • Scissors or tweezers

  • Sewing machine and thread of the same color of the dress

Materiales que necesitaremos para reducir la medida del vevsido

  • Alfileres o Hilo y aguja de coser

  • Tijera o pinza

  • Maquina de coser e hilo del mismo color del vestido

Step by Step - Paso a Paso

As you can see this is the design of the dress, but in the lower part of the bust, waist and hip, the dress is very wide, so in this case the reduction of the measurement will be based on reducing this measure and at the same time the seam reaches the natural hem of the dress.

Como puede ver este es el diseño del vestido, pero en la zona baja del busto, la cintura y la cadera, el vestido queda muy ancho, de tal forma que en este caso la reducción de la medida se va a basar en reducir esta medida y que a la vez la costura llegue hasta el ruedo natural del vestido.

To make the dress to fit, the dress should be placed on the back side and with the help of the pins we must reduce the size and gradually give the necessary mold for the figure.

Para que el vestido quede a la medida se debe colocar el vestido del lado revés y con la ayuda de los alfileres debemos reducir esa medida y poco a poco dar el molde necesario para la figura.

We do the same on both sides, and also if you do not have pins you can simply make stitches with needle and thread, preferably that the thread that is taken is of another color so that it stands out at the time of taking it to the sewing machine.

Hacemos lo mismo en ambos laterales, y tambien si no tienen alfileres simplemente pueden hacer puntadas con aguja e hilo, preferiblemente que el hilo que se tome sea de otro color para que este destaque al momento de llevar a la maquina de coser.

In my case when I was sewing I found some pieces of glass that interfered with the seam, so I had to remove the seal or the rivet from the glass, I used a simple scissors to remove the small rivet from the glass, but you can also use a tweezers.

En mi caso cuando estaba cosiendo encontré algunos piezas de cristales que intercedían en la costura, asi qué tuve que sacar el sello o el remache del cristal, utilicé una simple tijera para eliminar el pequeño remache del cristal, pero también pueden usar una pinza.

In this way we should finish the seam allowance right at the main seam line of both the armhole and the hem.

De esta manera debemos terminar la guia de la costura justo en la línea de costura principal tanto de la zona de la sisa como del ruedo.

This is the final result of the project, I hope you like the result.

Este es el resultado final del proyecto, espero que les guste el reultado.

Very well done 🤗🤗👍, how long did it take you to do it ? 😲, less than an hour or just 3 hours of size adjustment ? 😊

Hello. Thanks! I didn't need much time; this job can be done in just 45 minutes, taking your time on the sewing machine. It's a job that only takes longer with the pins, so try not to prick your skin. 😉

45 minit is fast, that means you are an expert at what you always do. 😲👌👌👌🌺🌺

Una manera fácil de hacer ajustes en prendas sin necesidad de acudir a la modista. Incluso haciendo punto atrás, al estilo del ruedo a mano, se puede hacer para casos de emergencia.
Muy buena la explicación y la documentación fotográfica.
