Even though the shoulders seem to fit, and the bust fits (thanks to a FBA), there seems to be too much width across the upper chest. I've pinched and pinned the dresses, but I'm not sure how to translate that to the pattern, except to make an actual dart on the neckline, which isn't what I want, LOL. <br />I LOVE your dress! I have one shift dress (purchased on a whim from Value Village!), and love it, so I'll look for this pattern now!TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849063738416974226.post-25931997295058488962011-07-03T20:53:36.782-05:002011-07-03T20:53:36.782-05:00I understand about tweaking the fit but what an aw...I understand about tweaking the fit but what an awesome piece of fabric you picked to make this dress.

Our local guild just hosted Cynthia Guffey who talked a LOT about that issue. I'm ready to try a smaller size in patterns, too.<br /><br />This dress is really cute on you and what a fun color!sewing spotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532791199723063051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849063738416974226.post-17424129562531824532011-07-03T08:00:49.410-05:002011-07-03T08:00:49.410-05:00Your dress looks like a bright, sunny day!
