Sample of bridesmaid gown too big

I created this short video to highlight the type of alterations that area available in my online tutorial Magic Circle. This are very complicated clothes alterations, and bridesmaid gowns come under that.
The original video is long, and this is because I have explained each step. Chiffon gowns and those that need to be taken in through the center back which are lined, can be done using this video.
Check out my website www.geniecentre.com which is purely for people who want to learn the skills of clothes alterations.

It really depends on the construction of the garment. And the size of the garment. A larger gown can be taken in more than a smaller one. It is always best to pin first and see how it fits. Then go from there. My book Clothing Alteration Secrets Revealed talks about my Taking in Technique and how that works. I am taking orders for the next release.
