1. The Belt Blouson Trick
A wide belt is your best friend! Slide a belt around your waist, and gently pull the fabric of the dress over the belt until you've created the length you want. It works like a charm, especially with flowy dresses, and gives a flattering, blouson effect.
2. Knot It Up
If you’re rocking a maxi or midi dress, try tying a small knot at the hem! Pull a bit of fabric from one side of the dress and twist it into a knot. Not only does this shorten your dress, but it also adds a playful, boho-chic vibe.
3. The Brooch Magic
This is where things get fun (and fancy)! Grab a statement brooch from your collection, or find a sparkly new one at our boutique.
Pinch the fabric of your dress from the inside and secure it with a brooch at your preferred length. This trick works great for asymmetrical looks and adds a touch of glam to your outfit.
4. Button It Up
For a quirky, vintage twist, try using decorative buttons! Sew or safety-pin them temporarily at the hem of your dress, then roll or fold the fabric and button it up. This creates a cute, ruched effect that can shorten your dress and add a charming detail.
