Seriously, though, I would probably sell it. I have seen a similar Eman in that color combo, and if the skirts are the same (straight lycra skirt?), it would be a lot of work to insert more fabric and then add beading to blend in.
I guess it depends - do you feel you could do the costume justice by making the alterations yourself? Do you have a dependable seamstress that could do the work?

I am actually a dependable seamstress and do many alterations for my dance community and always alter my own stuff.
I am actually leaning towards a full redesign of the straight lycra skirt...using more than 10" of the material at the bottom that needs to be removed for my lack-of-height purposes and use that to really go to town on the fit, add waist straps...a real redesign.
I guess I feel 'funny' about taking a valuable garment and really changing it...like repainting the Mona Lisa to match my couch
.
But I love this costume and it's VERY much a "Gia" design...colors...
Thanks everyone for your opinion...it's really helped!
