Baby hems

Lately, manufacturers have been making baby hems on gowns, and some are so poorly done, it

makes the garment look cheap. I had one the other day for a Mother of the Groom, who came to me for alterations. I had to do something about that hem and there was no fabric. For this gown, which was made out of a taffeta, I removed the stitches, pressed it out and decided to serge the ends and simply sew again. It is still small, but the puckers are not there anymore, and the hem is no longer an issue. You can also try to press out the hem and add lace binding or a false hem. Depending upon the fabric, there are ways to correct the problem.
