Burst Seam

One of the dangers of wearing your garments for years (after finding them secondhand) is that they’ll need repairs. I’ve resewn a few seams on this apparently handmade dress that I scored at a swap almost five years ago. Getting dressed, this morning, I discovered new holes, along the right seam of the bodice, but didn’t have time to fix them. I just tried not to raise my right arm all day.
