I wound up sewing triangular extensions into the backs of many bottoms to get them to fit her. Later, have had better luck with buying larger and hemming. Getting somewhat more skilled at these tasks. Your work looks lovely!Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764762330853383935noreply@blogger.com
