Everyone has been fitted for a uniform and should have taken them home. Please hem/dart/pin clothes as needed but please DO NOT remove/cut away any material. Here is a link for how-to hem. If you don’t know how to sew (I don’t either) just use safety pins instead of straight pins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P02Mne95-s8
