First Cut is the Deepest!

Boy was I nervous. What a responsibility, cutting up the much loved wedding dress of a friends Mother. I had to treble check before I made the first cut that mum was sure she was okay with it. My hand literally shook when I made the first cut but luckily I didn't cut a wonky line.

Here I unpicked the zipper and marked out first where the new waist would be. Then I took my shiny, shiny shears to the fabric, layer by layer.  I intended on keeping as much of the original trimmings but as the zip was not put in straight to begin with I ended up taking it out altogether and replacing it.
