Well some sewing crimes took place today, but I think altering the skirt was worth it for sure. I happened to find this very nice looking skirt. The Print with the books is just so lovely and the combo of yellow and brown is just so lovely. ​:neobun_llenn_aww:​ This one is an actually genuine skirt from a japanese Lolita-brand. In this case its the Royal Library Skirt from Innocent World. Just costed me (a kinda stupid for one piece) 100 €. There was just one problem. I knew beforehand that the skirt would not fit me. The measurement for the waist was 75cm at max. I did try it on just how it was when it came. It did not fit obviously. So some enlarging that waistband was needed. Luckyly there is an answer to almost any sewing-question on the internet. Ali (German Video!) saved my day again. He helped with fixing some hole on my jeans before lol. I did make some little mistakes with measuring stuff out so the fabric I added to the backside after cutting some off shows through but when wearing it (especially with the bow) its not too noticeable... I did take the "easy" route though since I did not really wanted to disturb the pleats of the skirt in the front, the back had a nice section with a rubber band in it so altering there was the easier thing to do. The geometry of the skirt did shift a little. The zipper is now at the front but it does not bother me really. I could have taken off the whole waistband and redo the pleats to keep the zipper to the side but I did take the easier route. Still very happy I can actually wear this ​:neobun_llenn_happy:​ I still need to get a whole coord together for it. Some more brown and yellow would be nice for sure. For now I just thrown some stuff together: - Atelier Pierrot Shirring Princess Sleeve Blouse - black tights - Some KOI Tira Mary Jane Heels - Innocent World Royal Library Skirt So enjoy the skirt with me. (And help cover up my sewing crimes ​:neobun_llenn_laugh_tears:​) #Crossdressing #Sewing
