How to loosen tight clothes. Combi shorts

What is your clothes became too tight or you can not find your size?  Is it always a problem or there's a way around it.... Let's see

This combi dress a bit too tight on the hips and neck is too closed and request was to make open shoulders

The neck is elastic and can be just moved lower, but then sleeves are too long and there's border pattern on the edge of the cleeve so it's gonna be lost if simply cott off so I decided to lower neck opening and shoulders.

  

 I've removed the stretchy neck first and marked how much lower I have to cut

 I've cut the neck and top of the sleeves lower to create open shoulders

 Then I 've crocheted 10 square motifs and 2 triangle ones and joined them together to form the inserts

like so....

Insert the motiffs into side seams like so...
