I didn't get a before picture because she was so upset that I set to work on it as fast as I could. Instead, here is an after picture of the leftover bodice. How on earth does that kind of damage happen to 100% acrylic fibres?
A snippety-snip later, the ruined bodice was off, (buttons salvaged, of course) raw edge zig-zagged, turned over, elastic in. Done in 10 minutes - while supervising her weekend homework.
Not my prettiest work but she needed new clothes and she likes it so I feel like a supermum! (I have to find some compensation for my many shortcomings!)
