I’ve attached photos of the inside seams too where the adjustments could be made. Looking for someone who enjoys doing this and for experienced people it shouldn’t take too long!

Hi want to get my uniform altered for muck up day. From image 1 to image 2.

Description I’m looking for someone who is good at sewing/dress alterations to help transform an old school uniform into a cute dress for my Year 12 Muck Up Day. I already have the school uniform and have attached inspiration photos showing the sort of style I’m after. I’d like it altered into a fitted mini dress, ideally with: * A cute fitted/corset-style or straight neckline * Thin straps or ribbon tie straps/bows * Shortened skirt * Pink and/or white ribbon/trim * Some simple decorative details such as stars, patches, initials or “2026” * Potentially a lace-up/ribbon detail at the back if achievable I’m not expecting an exact copy of the inspiration photos — I’d love someone creative who can look at my existing uniform and work out the easiest way to achieve a similar look while still making it neat and wearable. I’m based in Toorak, Melbourne and can bring the uniform to you for fitting/alterations if you’re reasonably nearby. Please let me know if you have experience with dressmaking or clothing alterations, and ideally send through photos of similar work you’ve done. I can supply the uniform and am happy to purchase ribbon, trim, patches etc. based on your recommendations. I need it completed before my Muck Up Day, so please let me know your availability and estimated turnaround time.

Seeking a Sewer / Seamstress to alter a dress I’d like to wear for a wedding in January. I had it measured at a tailor and they suggested 6cm total width add in 3 cm either side of the zip in a v shape ( see image). Unsure of how far down it needs to be altered to however, see image for rough alteration. Will need to be re-measured. The Tailor suggested the zip be unpicked and resewn in with two v shape panels either side in order for the dress to fit. I’ll provide the fabric.
