completely - with expensive or hard to get fabric.
I use to have that problem big time, but now, the more I use such fabrics,
the less I am intimidated by them.
Now, taking apart a garment to remake it... I can't go there, the garments
got to be really, really wrong before I'll take something apart and remake
it. I'll find "cheats around such things so I don't have to take it apart.
Like that 3" gap, I'd get a "privacy" panel of like or same fabric and
insert it behind the lacings.
I have a gown that was pearled, with the "perfect" Elizabethan style woven
patterned fabric, that got washed and shrunk. It's taken me four years to
decide to take it apart, part of the way and remake it for my granddaughter.
