said... Mary Ann, did you make the size that matched up with your measurements? How ar eyou dealing with the various fabrics size-wise? Are you making adjustments? 5/27/02 3:08 AM
said... Mudcat, I thought I had tried to address your questions in my review, but here goes...I cut the size that matches up best with my measurements, sew it together, try it on, then adjust for fabric. Slinky usually need to be taken in, and that's easily done on the side seams, scooping out the underarm curve. Because you are so petite, you may have other issues, but the patterns are quite well suited to my height (almost 5'9" and I just lengthen sleeves and pant legs). I've never adjusted the shoulders or neckline, they fit me just fine the way they are. Hope this helps. 5/27/02 12:00 PM
