It's history week next week and they have to come in costume on Friday.
I took dd to the charity shop today and she found a vile the perfect Tudor Queen skirt, dark blue with sequins and pearls on.
The problem is that the skirt is a size 14 and dd is 6!
I was thinking of pleats at the top to make a really full skirt, but I will have to pleat so much fabric I think it will look stupid. What do I do now? Open up the side seams and construct a completely new skirt?
This seemed like such a good idea a few hours ago, but now I really don't know where to start. I am not a novice at the sewing machine, but neither am I particularly gifted as dd keeps pointing out helpfully Victorian chimney sweep child seems strangely attractive!
