Hello! I have a dress that I’d love to wear to a bridal shower this Sunday but it needs some alteration. It’s quite a boxy cut, and I’m happy for it to stay boxy, so I’m hoping it’s not too complicated to bring in both side seams so it’s smaller and perhaps the top shoulder seams so the drop waist sits slightly higher. Photo of the dress, and of the inside seams is attached. :)
