Dreaming of Altering a Dress - dream meaning with inherited lore
Altering a dress may show a wish to shape what you already have to fit you, rather than throw it away or start completely over.
At a tailor’s or repair shop, you adjust the dress’s length and details to fit your body. You may wait for the alterations to finish or inspect the completed dress.
Korean lore: Traditionally, mending clothes has sometimes been interpreted as the process of putting disorder or relationships back in order. Altering the dress to fit you may also be seen as preparing yourself for a new place. (In folk dream interpretation, the condition of clothing has been viewed as reflecting your current roles and dignity, while repairing and refining it has been read as preparation for change.)
Through the mind: At work or in a relationship, you may be holding on by adjusting the terms rather than changing everything at once. It may also have reflected a wish to gradually change your surroundings in ways that suit you, rather than rejecting who you are now.
