I have a top with that kind of top where the neckline is a circle and the body cuts away at the shoulderline. I really like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-alteration-attempt#post-960109 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:35:42 +0000 harmonica 960109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for sleeveless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-alteration-attempt#post-960103 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:25:37 +0000 Anonymous 960103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, without sleeves the extra size in the body looks intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-alteration-attempt#post-960101 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:24:38 +0000 Sara L. 960101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better without the sleeve too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-alteration-attempt#post-960099 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:22:29 +0000 Diana 960099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remove the other sleeve! Without the sleeves it looks like a sack dress that is deliberately oversized.&nbsp; The sleeve as is just makes everything look too wide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-alteration-attempt#post-960098 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:19:30 +0000 amiable 960098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night I removed a sleeve from a gray dress.&nbsp; When I originally wore it, I got comments that it was too big (and the size would agree - it's 2 sizes larger than my normal).&nbsp; However, I'm not convinced that it's actually too big in the shoulders.&nbsp; Rather, the sleeves are weirdly shaped, making them pop up in a bubble when I move my shoulder (see pic 2, which got the original review).</p> <p>And I don't like puffy sleeves anyway, so I tried removing them (well, one).&nbsp; But I'm really wavering on whether it's an improvement.&nbsp; What do you think?</p> <p>Removing the sleeve left a pretty big armhole, which I'll take in a bit along the side seam to make it wearable if I leave it this way.</p> <p>Yay=remove the other sleeve<br />Nay=re-attach the first sleeve, original is better. </p>
