Revise Latin Dance Costume: shorten bodice, add bust support, ruffle skirt
Channel: Sew Like A Pro
Date: 2019-08-06

Have you ever tried on a Dancesport or Country costume that was too long in the body….and wondered how to fix it?

Today’s blog features Kerry, a new Sew Like a Pro™ member from the United Kingdom. During one of my Q&A calls with the sewing school members, Kerry asked several questions regarding how to alter this Latin dance dress she was given by her daughter’s ballroom dance instructor. https://seamssensational.com/shorten-long-bodice-latin-dance-costume/

I don’t publish my Sew Like a Pro™ Q&A calls very often because, well, they are for members only. It’s part of the live, supplemental training I created to make my online sewing programs as complete as possible.

Today, I thought I would share this excerpt with you to:

- show you how to shorten the bodice on a dress that is too long in the body,
- give you a sneak peak into our group Q&A calls in case you’ve been considering enrolling in my adult sewing classes.

I hope you enjoy the video!

HOW DO THE SEW LIKE A PRO™  LIVE  Q&A CALLS WORK?  

Every 2 – 2.5 weeks I hold a video Q&A call for my sewing school members. All members are invited to join and ask any questions they have about the dressmaking process, or even about the business side of running a costume company.

With seventy members in nine countries, the calls average about two hours long these days!  The members who attend the live call can join late or leave early depending on her availability.  As you see from the image below, she can be on video, or not.  It’s her preference.  Whatever the case, we have a fun time as you will see in the video!

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT OUR LIVE Q&A VIDEO MEETINGS

1) I hold the live video calls about every 2.5 weeks.
2) I schedule the calls at different times and days of the week to help members from around the world have a better chance of joining the live call.
3) The members who cannot attend the live video meeting post their Qs on the member site so I can answer them live on that week’s video meeting.
4) Members can watch the replay at their convenience.
5) The replays are part of the Sew Like A Pro™ member archives and can be referenced 24/7 all year ’round.
