I think if you take your bust measurement around your upper chest -- just under the arms -- rather than your full breast, you will get a truer size. I also think the hips are too big. Often the patterns, especially if you're between sizes, will be on the larger size. Now that you know how nice this pattern can turn out may I suggest buying some really cheap muslin and making the dress, using the upper chest measurement and a 12 hip, as a sample to use for future fittings. You can make changes on the muslin and get the perfect fit by transferring the changes to pattern paper. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sewable-Swedish-Tracing-Paper-73cm/dp/B00C649MLG There will be no need for hemming or any other finishing details, just the seaming. You can even use long stitches on the sewing machine so it will be easier to unpick, and if you use the Swedish TP you can sew it and try it on for fit. Can't wait to see your next version. There are so many different views that every dress will look very different.7LucyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604426929782210954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-13543441038873571862014-03-20T10:22:57.988+00:002014-03-20T10:22:57.988+00:00The dress is lovely and the colour suits you so we...The dress is lovely and the colour suits you so well!anne robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317071407991018199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-74956262442136742372014-03-19T22:30:39.148+00:002014-03-19T22:30:39.148+00:00I love your dress!
