I actually did my first "offical" one last week (meaning actually on the pattern before I started). It worked out well and I'm pleased with the fit.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357944348284103102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-42894043691127729672008-03-18T11:15:00.000-04:002008-03-18T11:15:00.000-04:00I love the print.

Thanks for the tips about the side seams, that's something I would've never thought about until after I'd made it!<BR/><BR/>melissa @ fehrtrade.comMelissa Fehr Tradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734428215982288386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-30137499793296142102008-03-17T20:33:00.000-04:002008-03-17T20:33:00.000-04:00Your version of this dress looks great!

Another way to finish off that bodice, that I've done on three of the 4 dresses like this I've made (2 Simplicity and 2 the Maggie London by Butterick) is to line the bodice with a powerdry knit or a tricot. It's actually faster than all that binding and turning under.<BR/>Also, I think the ruched overlay needs to be narrower than the underlay in order to ruche and stay ruched. I think it was Melody who made it and it didn't ruche, then when she took it in, voila, she had gathered ruching. You can imagine how yucky that overlay looks hanging limp.Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.com
