persevering said... Amanda,
I totally agree with the other comments made - your work is immaculate and you look so good! Can you please explain how you combined making the size 10 at the bust but 12 otherwise. Especially as how it impacts the sleeve and how you taper into the waist. I think that your adjustments are what I need to do for my figure too. Everything you sew that I have seen is inspiring me. It is just a matter of catching up with my other responsibilities but in the meantime I've been learning a lot so I'll be better prepared when the time soon arrives. Thank you for your meticulousness! 10/26/08 4:00 PM
