Alterations are made to improve the fit and appearance of a garment. This new title in Barron's 200 Q&A Series presents the most frequently-asked questions, and offers concise answers to all aspects of altering, mending and repairing dresses, skirts, coats, and other garments.

Topics that follow include:

  • Sewing on buttons, hooks, and snaps
  • Letting down and shortening hemlines, especially for children's clothing.
  • Changing the shapes of sleeves and waistlines
  • Taking in, shortening, and adjusting waistbands for pants and skirts, and much more
