Item 1: Green pattern maxi dress. I'd like this made into a high waisted maxi skirt - see photos 1 & 2 for example. Item 2: Green velvet dress - I'd like this shortened and the cow neck straightened out Item 3: Blue silk dress, I'd like the hem straightened (currently longer on the sides) - Due date: Before Saturday, 19 November 2022
