altering the bodice
jomynes Member since 1/14/12 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/18/13 8:57 PM I absolutely love the sweep on the gown, but the top i don't care for I'd like to convert it to a simple princess seam sweet heart cut or even a plunging v-neck. Any suggestions on the easiest way to accomplish this? And i do want it to be all one piece. http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v2931-products-5478.php?page_id=858

It'd be worth looking at the pattern pieces to see how it's constructed and whether you can eliminate the bow easily. ETA: If you look at the reviews for the dress here on PR, there are several that talk about leaving off the bow. -- Edited on 3/21/13 4:20 PM -- ------ I've moved!
