Adding Sleeves #2

Adding Sleeves #2

Another sleeveless to sleeved dress transformation. Alas, I can’t find a before photo.

Sleeves again modified from this pattern.

Lace insert is from a ruffle dyed turquoise.

And a doll’s dress, of course…

So pretty! Do you shorten the length to get fabric for the sleeves?

Nice! Another impressive alteration!

Thanks! Taking the fabric from the hem would have made too much sense! I opened the seam at the bodice and cut the sleeves from there, then reattached the skirt, trying to line up the pattern. (In my defence, it was gathered under the bodice giving me a somewhat pregnant-look. And hemming knits is always a problem for me.)
