I've been having some fun with drafting dresses too lately (although with knits), and I've also found that gathers and pleats mess with the ease meaning the fit is never quite what you expect. I think shortening the bodice might help the front sit flatter as it would keep the gathering running vertical? Maybe a combination of shortening the straps and the bodice length? Anyway, I really like this style - I like cut-outs too, and this is a good ratio of flesh to fabric (for my taste anyway!) Happy birthday, and hopefully you can fit in some fancy cocktails soon so you can wear this (oh, such a chore :) )Dillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715013290288339298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-41965796372842898982014-09-18T23:20:07.824-04:002014-09-18T23:20:07.824-04:00You really knocked that inspiration dress out of t...You really knocked that inspiration dress out of the park.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-60874168062207853792014-09-18T21:54:35.656-04:002014-09-18T21:54:35.656-04:00I really love how you search for and find inspirat...I really love how you search for and find inspiration.

Your pattern illustrating style is about on a par with mine - but hey, it gets the job done! Great drafting job - it's so satisfying when a concept comes to reality.<br /><br />That Atonement dress ... sigh. Lucky for me I was NOT of age in the 30s as I would have looked dreadfully lumpy in all those bias-cut body-skimmers. (I think you could carry it off really well.) Gosford Park is another great movie for 30s costuming.<br /><br /><br />Happy, happy birthday!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-48920638721922637142014-09-18T14:24:22.768-04:002014-09-18T14:24:22.768-04:00Happy birthday!!!!

I concur with Michelle, you need more of this shade of green in your life, you look fantastic in it!<br /><br />I have only tried the whole draping/drafting thing a couple of times and it's never worked out for me, but seeing your vision come to life makes me itch to try it again. You did a great job of explaining it as always, so this will definitely come in handy should someone (or you) wants to try it. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
