It can come in more at the waist and hips, but I didn't want to take a chance. I think I need to recut the black piece and place it to match the corresponding front black piece.
I like the print though. I also like the white yoke even though that is just muslin fabric. I'll recut it later and line it so it isn't see through. I think I will also see how it looks extended over my shoulder a little.
I also need to keep exercising. I'll see how this looks fitted before I determine if its too much print for me.
The Colette pattern is looking better too. Diane was awesome. How great is it to have a friend who can help you fit a silk charmeuse shirt!

I also think that it may drape well if I let it hang overnight (or so) and let it drape. From my experience, bias tops kind of drape and adapt as they settle in shape. At least the ones in good fabric do, by that I mean tightly woven and heavier fabric.
It also still has to bulky 2" seam allowance poofing at the sides. Right now the seams are just basted. When I get the seams to where I want them I will trim the SA's down to about 1/2" (for french seams) and pull out the basting threads. this should mark the seam lines nicely, but not too permanently.
Looking good on both counts Miss Becki! Did you do any alterations on the dress for the bust? It fits really well. And good job Diane!
ReplyDeleteBoth look great. I think the block colours break up the print nicely. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
ReplyDeleteBoth look fantastic, I love the color blocking on your Vogue dress!
ReplyDeleteI too like the color blocking on the dress and that animal print looks fabulous on you.
ReplyDeleteHey, Here is a sweet surprise - I have nominated you for the super sweet blogger award! http://wp.me/p2yS5n-ID
ReplyDeleteI like the print. It is just the right scale. The color blocking really makes it work. Don't you just love Kay Unger? Her designs are so flattering. Can't wait to see it all fitted!
ReplyDeleteThey both look very nice! I leave bias garments hanging for at least three days before hemming. That's probably way too long, but just to be on the safe side!
