Hello, I'm facing the same issue with sleeves slipping off the shoulder. Thank you for telling how to fix it by shortening the elastic length, but the elastic I previously used was only an eighth of an inch long. How much should I adjust it now, considering I'm sewing the dress for someone else? Additionally, I don't have elastic for the neckline; instead, I've done shirring on it. What should I do in this case?

Thanks a million! 🌺🌸

[@MyMumMakes]

No worries! Hopefully it helps if you want to have a go with one of your tops or dresses

I have two beautiful blouses that do exactly that, but there's no elastic. What can I do to fix that? Thanks

[@MyMumMakes]

Could you add elastic into it? Maybe thin elastic into the seam or use bias tape on the inside to create a place to put the elastic?

[@Msfelixthecatz]

@@MyMumMakes I'm afraid not, the sleeves are supposed to flow. Plus I can't sew to save my life, lol.

Thank you!!

How do you fix when the elastic is sewn onto the material?

[@MyMumMakes]

I usually just leave the elastic in there and add an extra smaller elastic (1/4 inch or 6mm) in there as well if there is space to feed it in the same casing as the existing elastic

[@virginiaflores7975]

@@MyMumMakes I just did that, thank you for the response and help.

Ooo cutie !!😫 Thank you for this wonderful hack❤️

[@AntoinetteChanel]

Thank you for this! I have a dress that I love but I haven’t worn yet because the sleeves are always falling. Definitely going to use this trick!

[@ginallaney]

Thanks ❤

[@ms.barrett4167]

What if the elastic is already sewn into the arm?

[@MyMumMakes]

Are you able to pull the existing elastic tighter or if it's sewn down can you run a smaller 6mm (1/4 inch) elastic in there through the same casing

[@Badazl]

This is very helpful! I just have one problem, the middle doesn't have any elastic and it's just very spacey, what can I do to fix this?

[@MyMumMakes]

By the middle do you mean the neckline? Could you use a piece of bias tape to create a casing to thread a piece of elastic through possibly?
