Once seeing the first muslin, I think most women would have rolled that up in a ball and tossed it but you did some great alterations. Once the second muslin was up, you could see that the skirt pleats needed to be two instead of 3...why don't designers see what we see? I'm guessing that you used the altered pattern to make the lining too. Her choice of fabric is so nice and your choice of lining continues the look of quality!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-78990050569585509802018-10-12T18:16:38.216-07:002018-10-12T18:16:38.216-07:00Women are always looking for the 'perfect'...Women are always looking for the 'perfect' pattern. Even women with great figures make at least some changes to a pattern. They are just not the same as the fit model the pattern is based on. I sew to get great fit. If I can't find rtw with fabulous fit, why would I think a pattern would fit any better?<br />The fabric you are using is gorgeous, and perfect for the style. She will look fabulous in it.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-9543840263606768712018-10-12T09:53:10.243-07:002018-10-12T09:53:10.243-07:00I love the fitting process notes and pics!

I wish I could take advantage of your class, but I live across the country from you. I always enjoy your posts on the garments you make for Heather. She and I have similar body type and size, so I can apply alterations you make for her to my own patterns. And seeing the lovely garments you make for her gives me a realistic idea of how certain styles might look on me.<br /><br />Seeing Piedmont Fabrics made me nostalgic. While I was a student at Mills College my husband's and my apartment was just a block away, on 41st street. This was 46 years ago, and Piedmont fabrics wasn't there yet (I think it's where the laundromat was). The neighborhood was a lovely old-fashioned working class neighborhood. There weren't nearly so many amenities on Piedmont Ave at the time, but we loved it anyway. Thank you for the reminder.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636722923735228804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-75131480605647899672018-10-12T07:04:13.648-07:002018-10-12T07:04:13.648-07:00That fabric is gorgeous!

I’ve struggled to fit a wrap dress or two in my time and think your tip about the center front would have saved me.Ellegeemakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589422179501109708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-7680769911382758502018-10-11T19:44:49.433-07:002018-10-11T19:44:49.433-07:00Love her fabric for the wrap dress.

Goes to show it’s great to try multiple options! It was mpb’s peter’s ig that said that about kdk and rayon bemberg, I was wondering why too :-)LLBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560798666592684432noreply@blogger.com
