Adventures in dressmaking

Adventures in dressmaking... It's been a while since I've attempted making a garment. Usually I am disappointed by the fit or lack there of and just give up. Then some time passes and I think hey I should make something I can wear. And sew it begins.
I took the leap and altered a pattern I had already purchased. Ages ago I made a dress, loved it but the garment never fit and alas sat in my closet for almost ever. I really liked the style so I decided to increase the size of the dress on my own and do some bust altering to better fit my boobs. Below is the completed garment (sorry I'm not wearing it) I will photograph the fit the next time I wear it. I loved how this turned out so much I plan on making it again in another fabric.
Have you tried your hand at making adjustments to a pattern? How did it go?

Thanks for reading♥
