Christina Sonja said... The dress looks great on you. I especially want to thank you for the in-progress pics you included. I have a vintage pattern with similar curved seams but I gave up after attempting a muslin. I'll have to give it another try now that I can refer to your very nice explanation & photos of how you pin-basted the curved seams. 10/15/06 10:52 PM
Mary Stiefer said... What a beautifully flattering pattern. Thx for your description on putting these pieces together. Great job. 10/15/06 11:14 PM
memmy said... Its lovely . The match of that pattern and that fabric is perfect. I will print out this advice re fitting two curves togther and file it for sure . Thank you for taking the time to share it with us. 10/16/06 0:06 AM
CarolynD said... What a gorgeous dress. It is very flattering. I use your method for set in sleeves too, I never tried making gathers, I would be afraid up picking up the gathers in a stitch. I think the pinning method makes it easier to ease, too. I think your fabric choice makes this dress look fantastic. It is so interesting to see good patterns reinterpreted to look so up to the minute. 10/16/06 0:20 AM
