Immelu said... I often have that same problem. I usually make a super quick muslin just to test. If I have that problem, I just overlap a bit at the center front on the pattern before I cut it out of the good stuff. 1/29/11 9:37 PM
SexiSadi said... I have to learn to take out a little 'tuck' of fabric in that area before I cut too. I think the dress is cute, and I really can't see the bubble in the pictures. 1/29/11 9:45 PM

Chiffon Queen said... Hi Lovely dress, I wondered if perhaps you needed to go down a size on the shoulders/centre front and increase the cup size/fba. Try on a muslin first, could be totally wrong. 1/30/11 4:35 AM
trinicity said... I agree, the color choice is beauitful, I love the tab with the button in the front it it looks like it fits great, Good Job 1/30/11 7:31 AM
suebbb said... chiffon - yes I agree that the bust itself is a little tight and the shoulder/neck area is loosish - thus the bubble effect. I am working on another version right now - and am taking your advice (and immelu's) and doing a muslin first - so frustrating that the pattern worked so well for others :( and thanks to those who said it looks good - I know I'm being fussy... but you just know when something doesn't fit as well as it could. 1/30/11 7:45 AM
KG2 said... Looks great on you. I love how you raised the waist. Your version is better than the original. 1/30/11 10:09 AM

Dei said... Your fabric chose makes this dress. I agree with Suebbb, the fit is a little snug through the bust, but you can make adjustments for that. Overall, well done. 1/30/11 4:53 PM

cabrewer82 said... I love the second attempt! The fabric choice is so fresh and summery yet dressy. It looks like a denim/linen mix. I have this pattern and would love to attempt a similar fabric. I too will probably need to do a Muslim. 2/26/11 12:22 PM
