Hi, I have a few pieces of clothing I'd like altered / reworked. Each piece is a beautiful piece of clothing / material but I no longer like the style and would rather repurpose them than give away. I'm looking for an experienced dressmaker who can work with me on this to create some new, simple designs for the clothing. I have an idea of how i'd like to alter each piece but open to suggestions. Item 1: Green pattern maxi dress. I'd like this made into a high waisted maxi skirt - see photos 1 & 2 for example. Item 2: Green velvet dress - I'd like this shortened and the cow neck straightened out Item 3: Blue silk dress, I'd like the hem straightened (currently longer on the sides) - Due date: Before Saturday, 19 November 2022
