If I look at the drawing and then the photo, it appears to be that the "much too bagginess" was the graceful drape that in effect you heightened and eliminated with all your adjustments. You've in effect raised the neckline and probably would have had a better result if you'd not eliminated what only seemed too baggy but first pressed it lightly down into a lower drape? I recently did a draped bias on a dress by Vogue and at first felt like I had a fabric beak pointing out from my chestbone, but then once I'd pressed it into place, it looked fine. 10/21/07 10:35 AM
