Amanda.Claire said... You are soooo close. For me, fitting is the hardest thing to do. Your review is really helpful. Sewers are the most persistent people. I like the dress too, but I know it has to be comfortable. I wish I could offer some fitting advice, but alas, I am not good at that. 9/14/11 10:53 PM

lbreton said... I really want to revisit this pattern. I really do recommend pivoting the bust dart. Or try it on the muslin and see what you think. 10/23/11 4:47 PM
Christine B said... Hey, I'm just starting with this pattern tonight. Like you, I need to FBA (32/34DDD), and I'm pretty small through the shoulders/neckline. I love that you tried this twice, and haven't given up. It can be sooooo discouraging to sew when you practically have to draft the darn pattern from scratch. I also checked out your blog - will definitely be following you in the future! Hang in there!! 12/3/11 11:35 PM
