But hey! Your dress is adorable, as are you! And! Sundresses can fit on the looser side too, especially ones with palm trees on them! Great job!

Measuring the flat pattern and comparing to your body measurements + ease or your favourite, similar item of clothing helps. Then muslin the crap out of it!<br /><br />I'm no expert and I'm not sure how this dress is supposed to sit on your waist, but it looks like the waist seam is WAY lower than your natural waist. If you took some length out of your bodice you might totally eliminate that bubbling.Siobhannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846347473282025148.post-9585564717158186262014-04-06T22:33:15.304+10:002014-04-06T22:33:15.304+10:00a lot of my dresses look like shite on the inside ...a lot of my dresses look like shite on the inside but i don't always share the photos of them. I found relief when i read the couture dresses - the proper ones made for celebrities etc are ALL a big mess on the inside. no seam finishes, all hand sewn and forget 1.5cm seam allowance. the allowance is all over the place. what ever is needed to make it fit! so even if you have to adjust after the main work is finished, thats ok, as long as it fits you! well that's my reckoning. <br />I love the palm trees! even thought its raining, the palm trees are perfect for the very warm weather we're still having! great work lovely!Catherine Aleknanoreply@blogger.com
