I've had this dress for a while now. I've worn it once, but always avoided it because of the long sleeves. I don't generally mind long sleeves, but these were baggy and unflattering.

So I finally decided to chop them off. I cut them at an angle.

Pinned them around, then sewed.

New sleeves! I could definitely see me wearing this dress more now.
WHAT?! how did you pin those sleeves and then just sew them?! how did you know how to do that???? and holy crap, your arms are skinny!
