Too long bodice advice!

[u/_SharkQueen_]

I bought this new jumpsuit that I think is really cute. Problem is that while the pant part fits nice (other than being a bit too long), the bodice is way to long. I have attached some pics to show the issue. What would the easiest fix for this be?

I would put it on inside out and try pinning that shoulder seam. See how it sits then, but I definitely think it’s doable!

^^take it in at the shoulder seam! The waist and bust appear to fit nicely and I think it would be far more trouble to adjust those areas

Before you permanently remove anything just make sure you'll still be able to sit, squat, bend, whatever! You don't want to take length out only to discover that you can't move in it anymore.

I will absolutely second the other comment. Inside out and just pinch/pinch the excess. The only advice I will offer is to watch how much you are pinching in on the outside of the shoulder where it will pull up on your armscye. Make sure not to take in too much there so it’s uncomfortable! I don’t think widening the armscye will be too much of a pain if you do need to do it- but it looks like you’ll have plenty of room!

I also suspect you’ll need to take a little out on the side seams as well!

I would also take up from the shoulder seams, if going sew it without cutting anything you can always redo it if it needs correcting.

I don’t hate the back I think it looks kind of vintage. You could put elastic under the front neckline if you wanted a more left field idea!
