karen n said... Oh my gosh that is perfect on you! I really like the front vent and think it adds a neat design twist. Very flattering on you. 9/21/12 5:52 PM
Jrhee said... Beautiful dress on you. I love all the details! 9/21/12 6:35 PM
Re Becca said... Gorgeous! Totally perfect fit! I have this cut out and I agree wiht you about the neckline looking wide. As the pattern is, the inner edge of the neckline lines up with the bust point so it will be need to be altered on most people. 9/21/12 7:31 PM
miausiau said... This is very flattering. I suppose the front slit could be converted to a pleat or an inset in the back with pleating that mimics the detail on front...just some ideas for the malfunction issue. You've done a beautiful job. 9/21/12 8:54 PM

Re Becca said... Even more stunning than the first! I have to ask, how did you make the center front seam disapear? Did you tak it completely out of the body and only have the pleating in the top overlay? 9/28/12 10:37 AM

clothingengineer said... Re Becca - the front seam is still there, but for some reason it doesn't show well in the photo. If you zoom in you can very faintly see it below the bust. 9/28/12 1:22 PM

sewnotwork said... How do you do a broad back adjustment and a narrow shoulder adjustment? I have the same problem! 10/24/12 0:01 AM
clothingengineer said... sewnotwork - I ended up not needing the narrow shoulder adjustment so I'm not sure if how I did it is "correct". I did my broad back adjustment 1/2 way down the back armscye, and just continued sloping the line inward for the narrow shoulders. I admit I just draw the line freehand. Maybe this drawing better explains it: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QdxoYfNnfy0mforc1OcNI3YdrcV4ASRU1WknBYx_9eM?feat=directlink 10/24/12 8:31 AM
