Took in a sweater--BIG improvement!!
I even took in the arm, which I don't always do--when a sweater just needs a little taking in, I taper it off before the armhole. This time, I took it in past the sleeve seam and tapered down to the cuff. I snipped to the seam just above the sleeve seam join.
Like I said, no "before," (although I maaaaybe could find a sort of unflattering pic of me wearing it a while back... it did nothing for my small chest!)--but here's the after!
Even the arms fit really well!
Success! Check out the tutorial here if you need to do this to any of your sweaters!
Wow that's incredible!! I've lost a lot of weight within this last year and I have a lot of clothes that don't fit that I really like, this inspires me to be able to figure out how to take them in, thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to try it--hey what's to loose?
ReplyDeletePerfect! Yep, give it a shot before throwing them out. And congrats!
DeleteIt's such a pretty color on you. Some sweaters look good slouchy, but it really depends on the proportions. 3/4 sleeve cardigans beg to be fitted, and I love the way it fits you now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! So true, 3/4 sleeve does look better on a slimmer fitting sweater.
DeleteThat looks great! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteNow a cute sweater... That would be cute over a strappy or strappless summer dress on a coolish evening...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Definitely!
DeleteBeing a tall woman shirts rarely fit me in the waist. For some shirts/sweaters/jackets all get disproportionally wider than they do longer as the size goes up. This will definitely help to fit clothes better.

So true. Taking in yourself is sometimes the only way to get stuff that fits in the waist!
DeleteLooks good, good job :)
