I don't think so, but she does have a pat set of alterations.

These actually aren't all the same dress.  The yellow has a near raglan sleeve that almost reaches the neckline.  The pink doesn't actually have a waistband, instead it has elaborate panel seams, a cut on sleeve and an underarm gusset.  The green has set in sleeves, princess panel and hidden zippered pockets as well as the skirt slit.  Black I can't make out.

One thing they all have is a seam down the top of the arm.  This has been added, she doesn't need the large sleeve that would come with a dress in her bust size, so every last one has been recut.  She may be routinely having an extra angled dart added under the bust, because the bodices have two types of bust shaping.  This wouldn't be necessary in a custom design.    These are all off-the-rack dresses that have been cut down from a larger size.[/quote]
I’m super interested in this concept. So would they take an 8 per say and bring in sleeves that are from a smaller size or do they just bring in the sleeves like you would another part of the dress? [/quote]

TBH I wish you could provide this level of analysis on almost every post in this forum. This is the kind of stuff I don't know, and also don't know how to find out. Would love to know more about alterations for different body types.[/quote]
