Irene said... Your fitting solution is as good as any, for a garment that's already made. The great thing about a yoked skirt is that it's easy to make a "muslin" of just the yoke. If I find I have to go down a size or cut between sizes, I trace the flared portion of the skirt accordingly. When fitting only the yoke, I have to keep in mind the affect of the lower skirt's weight, when it is added. 1/18/07 1:23 PM

Sheer laziness always keeps me from actually doing it, buuuuut really I always wish I had after the project is over.
Thanks for the tips! :) 1/18/07 5:22 PM
