  • Client: Can you make this prom dress for your niece we almost got scammed..
    Comments: She just does alterations. She can't make a full dress.
    Alterations does require that you have knowledge of how to put things together. It helps a lot when trying to figure out more complex alterations.
    This was a prom dress I did for my niece years ago. It pushed my skills a little but love that she loved it.
    Yes I can make a whole dress.. However my focus is Alterations. I enjoy those more.

    For someone to think that you can do alterations and not know how to make an actual dress just shows how ignorant that person is...
    To do alterations, you have to deconstruct the garment in some cases, and then put it back together, which means you have to know how the construction works in the first place people.🤦🏾‍♀️
    Girl I don't even know why you answered that question.

      Probably because when people see the word alterations they are probably thinking something like taking up the hem or something simple, not actually remarking a dress sometimes.

      agreed! saying something like "all you can do is alterations" is such a weird criticism to me, because even if it was true and "all" she could do was alterations, that's still way more than the average person knows to do, especially alterations on formal dresses and gowns

    • @t-and-p
      @t-and-p Před měsícem +16

      Agreed! 👍 I'd also argue that a lot of alterations are far harder than making the dress from scratch. That's because, when you make it from scratch, you can pick out everything you work with, make sure you have ample material, etc. When you're doing alterations, you have to work with what the original dressmaker has left you with (or have a far harder time sourcing matching materials).

    • @blazertundra
      @blazertundra Před měsícem +9

      I can make my own clothes but any alterations beyond hemming, fixing factory mistakes, or repairs scares me to no end. You have to be able to understand how it's made just by looking at it. That is not a skill I have despite having made multiple dresses.

      absolutely. I've had people ask why I make my own clothes from scratch when I can "just" alter them, because I do also do alterations. It's 100% legit, making from scratch is almost always easier than altering an existing piece.
