i'm adapting an outfit i bought for her. well, not adapting - i'm making a new one that i hope will fit her better.
so far, i've:
- made the waist area wider (cause it fits exactly when she stands up but tightens to a drumskin when she sits down) - i increased it from 11.25" across (22.5" around) to 12.5" across (25" around, based on her sitting-down girth of 24")
- made the sides at the waist 1/4" longer
- dropped the bottom of the armhole 1/4" and pulled it in a bit cause i could see it was cutting in under her arm
- made the skirt wider to match the waist of the top section (it has an empire waist) but left the length - i was going to make it longer and straighter and leave the side seams open to make it a proper kameez for a salwar and kameez outfit but my friend pointed out that if she crawls in a long-skirted outfit, she'll likely embed her face in the floor when she crawls up onto the skirt.
