I've even got the ladies at the fabric store keeping an eye out for me. Thanks for your tips on matching stripes. Even the THOUGHT of doing something that complicated is a big deal for a new sewer like myself, but your tip made a lot of sense.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233479262926672923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185174044380758084.post-38053068014783867702010-05-30T00:31:04.833-07:002010-05-30T00:31:04.833-07:00LOVE IT!

However, I think the bodice is supposed to be somewhat blousey, so the back bodice piece did puzzle me a bit because it is a little baggy, but it made sense when I compared it to my back length measurement and I really couldn't take any out as the kimono sleeves would be too constrictive. The measurements for the size on the pattern envelope stated the waist to be 26.5 inches, but I found it to be smaller and almost too close for comfort (my waist is 25.5 inches). Also, I'm was wearing a bullet bra when the photos were taken, that usually makes a blousey bodice like this sit a little differently than if you're wearinga modern and more rounded bra.<br /><br />Jessica: Good luck :)Polly Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716921874972670625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185174044380758084.post-16325789704320625382010-05-28T07:10:24.593-07:002010-05-28T07:10:24.593-07:00The dress looks great!

Even though you wrote that the pattern was a bit tight, I think you could actually use a size smaller in the bodice and just blend the bodice into the larger skirt portion.lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185174044380758084.post-62214424197700361702010-05-28T06:53:01.938-07:002010-05-28T06:53:01.938-07:00That's just lovely!
