What’s the best way to shorten these flutter sleeves?
I want to shorten the sleeves on my bridesmaid dress to something more like the examples in the second photo. I’ve been sewing for 10+ years so I’m comfortable doing it, but I’d love input on the cleanest approach before I get into it.
It’s a satin dress with a soft flutter sleeve, and I want to keep that drape rather than making it look chopped off. Would you shorten from the hem, or would you take the sleeve off and reshape it first? Curious what you’d do here, especially if you’ve altered this kind of sleeve before.
