I'm also a pear. (What a fantastic fruit. Dried pears in baked goods? Wow...) Btw, as such, I'm quite partial to baby dollish or empire waist. I've seen some tanks and dresses with bodice/straps replaced with colorful crochet. Fuuun, and a way to fix a beloved item that may not quite fit up top. But I digress...great dresses!

This was my first attempt at altering clothing, except taking up trousers that are *always* too long for me, so I think anyone could do it, provided you have a) a decent sewing machine, and b) enough patience to keep trying it on (while avoiding being scratched by the pins) until the fit is perfect. Oh, and my other top tip would be to measure across the width of the original skirt at several points to find the centre, and then, with a chalk pencil, draw the centre line all the way down the wrong side of the fabric (inside of the skirt). That way you can make sure your darts match on each side, by making them the same distance away from the centre line. Thank you all for the comments!
