Cute dress. Reminds me of a Lilly P Janie wore this summer. The neckline was too wide for me as was the skirt, but she sure looked great in it!SissySeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249971578077045662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-24890701586862188122013-09-30T09:46:00.686-04:002013-09-30T09:46:00.686-04:00A couple of things ~

I think that's why I have such a good fit at the top and the bottom. Because in the beginning it was two pieces placed together.<br /><br />2. I no longer use my straight back pieces for the back of my dresses. If you notice my last two have princess seaming in the back. This allows for new fitting issues I've developed with age.<br /><br />3. Shave the curves off the side seams of your dress front. Over the years that curved edged has decreased more and more. Sometimes I do it when I'm sewing the garment, sometimes I do it when I cut the pattern out. But that pear shape curve is "too" on most of us.<br /><br />This is a process and I did all of the work on one pattern to get it to work. My pattern is now over 12 years old and I keep transferring it from pattern paper to pattern paper as I wear it out.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-44514989940148919212013-09-30T09:37:23.923-04:002013-09-30T09:37:23.923-04:00While I like sheath dresses, I rarely wear one bec...While I like sheath dresses, I rarely wear one because they simply do not "fit" my body. I hope you can work out the kinks in the pattern to salvage your dress.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-50698599894658921532013-09-30T05:13:47.484-04:002013-09-30T05:13:47.484-04:00I've just started making this dress as well. ...I've just started making this dress as well. The bust is a bit low, the hips too large - I'm a straight figure type. I'd love to see a picture of your problem too.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-11366544000500440672013-09-30T00:55:27.223-04:002013-09-30T00:55:27.223-04:00Not sure if you're up for it, but if you post ...Not sure if you're up for it, but if you post some pics maybe we (meaning those who read your blog) can help you figure out what went wrong with the back. Only if you feel like sharing, of course.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651748625848813891noreply@blogger.com
