Shrinking

Having lost 3.5 stones to help with my arthritis in my knees, I need to alter some size 20 very good dresses down to a 14. Any helpful hints (they are fitted dresses not shifts I might add) please?

Take in starting at the side seams first. Adding darts will also help achieve a better fit.
Take a lot of measurements and try the dresses on inside out and mark the excess with pins.
