Fashion (Alterations) Altered skirt and dress Pamela Virgo November 13, 2014 no Comments I altered a friends skirt and dress, so that the items no longer just live in her wardrobe, but get to come out and play once in a while. The blue dress was too short, so I added a black pleather trim to the bottom of it. The skirt was too large so I cut some inches off the side. My friend was very happy with the results!
