How To Add Sleeves To A Strapless Dress

"Learn how to add sleeves to a strapless dress by sewing on thick straps and flutter sleeves. This is a quick alteration to make a dress more wearable! Strapless and sleeveless dresses might be easy to find, but they are a little uncomfortable to wear if you are always worrying about them staying up. It’s often needed to add straps and sleeves to a strapless dress, and it’s an easy and simple refashion! I have done this alteration too many times to count for teenagers so their dress would comply with a dress code. There’s a little bit of machine sewing, a little bit of hand sewing, and the hardest part is matching the fabric!"
