This is your PSA to forego clothing at Anthropologie: this dress should have been a simple alteration of raising the waistline, but despite doing so at the same measurement all around, the two front sides were different lengths and the button bands were off with the row of buttons. 🫪

Luckily, these were quick fixes to remove and re-stitch the buttons and hem the longer front panel to match the other. I also narrowed and shortened the sleeves and she’s done. 🫶🏻

But, with this alteration I see a pattern: every Anthro garment I’ve altered has had a discrepancy in the drafting. Spend wisely friends!

I adore vintage findings! I love thinking about the seamstress who owned them - what did she plan for these buttons? Did she hand-stitch them on one by one? This is the thread that connects seamstresses across time and I’d happy to be part of the story.

"Green" is a matter of opinion! Color-matching is part of my routine and finding the perfect fabric to add to a garment or turn into one is my specialty!
