  • Hello friends! In today’s video, I wanted to show you the process of how I did these extensive prom dress alterations. I took the dress in at the back with zipper and it also had a godet sewn in the hem. I hope you find this video useful and if so, please don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe! Your support means the world to me!!
    For a more thorough explanation on how to take in with godet, please see:

    You did a good job of explaining. That turned out so well.
    There’s just so many layers of same colour fabric, lining, zip & thread that its hard to actually see. You need to do a pretend one with black lace, white lining, green zip & orange thread! It can be a halloween horror story, zombie prom or something! 😜

    Wondered why, or missed the why, not take up the side seams? Instead of the zipper and moving the godet. I’m not officially in alterations, but the granddaughter and her friends have had several crises needing adjustments with bridesmaid dresses. So kinda familiar.

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Před rokem +16

      Hi! This is a great question. In fact you can take in at the sides too. But in this case, you'll have to deal with two godets instead of one. At the same time, you miss the opportunity to make a really nice back curve that gives to the dress a certain touch. I'd say that in this case it would be a matter of preference and desired results. You should have seen me jumping from the back to the sides when pining. It took me a few minutes to take the decision! Cheers 🙂

    She looks amazing in the dress. And you altered it to fit her so well. But as pointed out by another with everything the same color it was difficult to follow exactly where you were marking, moving, and sewing. I think I understood the zipper, and maybe the lining sewn to the zipper??? But I was totally lost with the godet. Could be because it has been since 1968 that I have sewn a godet, and the pattern gave excellent step by step instructions. Wish I still had that pattern. You do excellent work, and try so hard to educate and improve the skills of your viewers.
