Behind the Seams: What’s a Gusset? ✂️
Sometimes a dress is just a little too snug, but that doesn't always mean starting over. A gusset is a fabric panel added into a seam to create extra room while helping the garment maintain its shape and comfort.
In this dress, I added a matching gusset to increase the fit and give the wearer a little more breathing room—an alteration many people don't realize is possible!
✨ Alterations aren't just about making garments smaller. Sometimes it's about creating the perfect fit by adding fabric where it's needed most.
