Kimmy was looking to have the costume re-made/altered/re-sized to have a lighter purple in place of the darker purple, and convert the base from a full body suit to a 2 piece. It ended up being a WAY more involved process than it sounded in the description. Substituting out the darker purple basically resulted in recreating everything except the organza sleeves. My first step though, which I can't recommend enough in alteration projects, was taking pictures of every bit of the garments to make sure it goes back together how it was made originally. After that I seam ripped (very carefully), and used some of the pieces as a sort of pattern stencil to recreate the new pieces in the lighter color. For the sleeve alteration, I was making it smaller so instead of tearing everything apart, I pinned across the amount I wanted smaller and just sewed across it, cut away the extra, and serged the edge to clean it up. This saved A TON of time. After re-making the cuffes, neck, and skirt pieces, I reassembled the skirt and shoulder pieces. Then I made the bra and panty in the lighter purple and we were all done!
