There are many tutorials or hacks about making thrifted clothes smaller, but in my life as a curvy person I usually wish I could actually make stuff bigger! I have gathered some ideas and techniques to actually upsize an item, and applied them all to a blouse from my wardrobe. While these hacks aren't perfect or even universally applicable, I hope they'll still help someone who has the same #BustyStruggles as I do. Get ready to #CombatTheGap with this Actually Upsizing Sewing Hack video!

Don’t forget to turn on the closed captions for explanation throughout the video, and do share your own upsizing hacks in the comment section!
