Dilliander said... Lovely fabric and dress. I have this pattern and was wondering if you would suggest going down a size since there is such a lot of ease? 6/12/12 6:28 AM
Mrs Lucas said... I would suggest taking more care than I did with the tissue fitting and then try it on before trimming and clipping. I didn't have access to a full length mirror when I was tissue fitting and doing the first sew-up and no-one around to give feedback. It was only when I got home to the mirror and to my dress form that I realised it was hanging like a sack. Does that help? 6/12/12 7:58 AM

Ms. McCall said... Wow, such a lovely dress. You had great vision, that envelope picture is so boring, but your dress is very fresh and fun. I think that for wrap dresses to sit nicely they just have to be low. A top underneath is the perfect solution 6/13/12 3:16 PM
