How to size down these milkmaid-style cups
Hi everybody!! Beginner sewist here :) I thrifted this floral dress that was about 2 sizes too big for me. I've already sized down the waist and it fits me perfectly. The only thing I can't figure out how to do is size down the bust cup area.
I have a small chest, and you can see (especially from the side profile) that there is a lot of excess fabric. I have no idea how to make these smaller so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
I also included a photo of the dress inside out in case that helps.
