Adjusting the hem is a relatively simple way to customize a dress for an occasion like prom, and is a good option for shorter women who may otherwise have trouble finding the perfect dress. Hemming the dress at home instead of taking it to a tailor will also save you money that can be spent on shoes or accessories to complete your prom look.Instructions1 nakea. Put the dress on, and have someone assist you in pinning the existing hem up (folding the material inside the dress) to the length you want your new hem. Pin all the way around the dress, keeping the new hemline as straight as possible. Wear the shoes you will wear to prom while you are pinning, to make sure the dress is the right length when paired with your shoes.2 Book printer. Take the dress off and iron the newly pinned hemline, creating a sharp crease in the fabric. Check the tag of the dress for ironing instructions so the fabric is not damaged in the process; when in doubt use a lower setting on your iron. This step defines the hemline, and will accent any crookedness or adjustments that need to be made before sewing.3. Put the dress back on and examine the hemline one final time before you sew. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and turn in a full circle, checking the dress from all angles hp server ram hokwang hand dryer. If adjustments need to be made, re-pin until you are satisfied.4. Take the dress off and turn it inside out to prepare for sewing. Before you sew the actual dress, cut a swatch of the excess fabric you pinned from inside the dress and use it to check the thread tension and stitching on your sewing machine. Prom fabrics can be trickier than everyday fabrics, so you want to make these adjustments before sewing on the dress itself.5. Trim away excess fabric from the existing hemline that may get in your way during sewing. Starting at an existing seam in the dress, sew slowly around the skirt of the dress, removing the straight pins as you go. Stop every few inches to check that the hem is straight, and continue until the entire hemline is sewn. Trim away any extra fabric that may remain, and run an iron over any bumps or inconsistencies to flatten them.
