I was mentally ready to sew the thing together. Now I have more fitting and no motivation. I'm hoping adding width to the back hip will fix the wrinkles, but who knows?Fitting is so frustrating, especially on my own. I see all these sewists with beautifully fitted dresses and wonder, how did they do that? I can't even get a simple sheath to lie flat.
First of all, I think a simple fitted sheath is one of the trickier things to fit---no gathering, no belts, nothing to hide the tiniest wrinkles. I think a touch more width on the hips would release those wrinkles, and I think the rest looks fabulous! It's very easy to over fit and drive yourself nuts---this looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was so disheartening to think the fit was great, then get a look at the back. I shall plunge in with renewed vigor…someday.
Deletedon't let it get you down - everyone has fitting difficulties sometimes - they don't necessarily always post them on the web, although some do. Personally, I always appreciate honesty and we can all learn from each other's mistakes.
