Hello, today I wanted to share some adjustments I made to my clothing item. I don't have a sewing machine and I don't have extra money to send it to a seamstress, so I did it myself.
And all this came about because I was going through my clothes and seeing which items I'm actually using and which ones I use less, because I wanted to be honest with myself and see if I could create outfits with those items or put them aside and donate them. This is when this corset came up that I bought online. I remember wearing it once and then I couldn't remember why I left it abandoned, so I had put together an outfit and I saw what the problem was.
Saludos, hoy quise compartir un arreglo que le hice a mi prenda de ropa, yo no tengo máquina de coser y tampoco dinero extra para enviarlo a alguna costurera, así que lo hice yo misma.
Y todo esto surgió porque estaba revisando mi ropa y viendo que prendas realmente estoy usando y cuáles uso menos, porque quería sinceramente conmigo misma y ver si podía crear outfits con esas prendas o hacerlas a un lado y donarlas. En esto salió este corset que compré online, recuerdo haberme lo puesto una vez y luego no recordaba porque lo dejé abandonado, así que me había armado un outfit y ví cuál era el problema.
When I was trying to put on an outfit I realized that something looked weird and it was that it was too big on me. I remember that when I bought it it said it was one size, I didn't give it any importance because it had a strap in the front to adjust it but I didn't count on the fact that the whole garment would be wide, even adjusting it as much as possible there was still a lot of space left, even my hand fit in there and if it weren't for the straps on my shoulders the corset would have fallen all the way to my hips. I definitely had to do something about it.
Al tratar de ponerme un outfit me di cuenta que algo se veía raro y es que me quedaba muy grande, recuerdo que cuando lo compré decía que era unitalla, no le di importancia pues porque en la parte de adelante trae una cinta para ajustarlo pero no contaba con que toda la prenda sería ancha, incluso ajustándolo hasta todo lo que se puede me quedaba un gran espacio, incluso mi mano entraba ahí y de no ser por los tirantes el corset se cae hasta el inicio de mis caderas. Definitivamente tenía que hacer algo respecto.
I decided to do something with the garment, but I had to do it right away because if I put it off it would probably end up back in the drawer. I changed my plans and started measuring and marking with something white everything that was left over. I didn't know how to do it very well but I tried. Here I saw that there was a difference of 18 cm, which is quite a lot. I am thin but I also have a small back. In the end I decided to take off 20 cm so I could use that part of the front of the garment to adjust it.
Decidí hacer algo con la prenda pero tenía que hacerlo en ese instante porque si lo postergaba probablemente terminaba ahí en el cajón otra vez. Cambié mis planes y me puse medir y marcar con algo blanco todo lo que estaba sobrando, no sabía cómo hacerlo muy bien pero lo intenté. Aquí ví que eran 18cm de diferencia, es bastante, yo soy delgada pero también tengo una espalda pequeña. Yo decidí al final quitarle 20 cm para poder hacerlo uso de esa parte de adelante de la prenda que trae para ajustarse.
I don't know what fabric it was, I don't know the name, but it's quite soft, it's not hard, on one side it's imitation leather and on the other it's totally different. After cutting, I started sewing with black thread, first I detailed how the garment was sewn on other sides to guide me and so that it turned out quite similar. The good thing is that I have a sewing technique that my mother taught me that makes it look pretty good, that is, you can't tell it was done by hand, although obviously when you see the garment inside out it's a different story, the inside out it's not as clean a job as the front. The important thing here is to draw an imaginary line or you can even draw it and try to sew as straight as possible, otherwise it will look strange.
No sé que tela era, no sé el nombre, pero es bastante suave, no es dura, por un lado es imitación de cuero y por el otro es totalmente distinto. Después de cortar, empecé a coser con hilo negro, primero detallé como estaba cosida la prenda en otros lados para así guiarme y que quedé bastante parecido. Lo bueno es que yo tengo una técnica de costura que me enseñó mi mamá que hace que se vea bastante bien, es decir, que no se note que fue realizado a mano, aunque obviamente cuando ves la prenda al revés es otra historia, al revés no es un trabajo tan limpio como la parte del frente. Lo importante aquí es trazar una línea imaginaria o incluso la puedes dibujar y tratar de coser lo más recto posible, de lo contrario quedará extraño.
And just like magic, the garment turned out fine. Here are some pictures showing the leftover piece of fabric and how it looks now. Now it really turned out fine, the outfits will look a little better. Obviously, this day I didn't finish what I had planned, but it gave me an idea to transform other garments.
Y así como por arte de magia, la prenda quedó bien. Aquí unas imágenes mostrando el pedazo de tela sobrante y como se ve ahora, ahora sí quedó realmente bien, los outfit quedarán un poco mejor. Obviamente este día ya no terminé de hacer lo que tenía previsto pero me dió una idea de transformar otras prendas.
