I have been working my way through the mending pile, wearing my hair shirt. 😉

I really hope to start a Music Class blouse for Liddy today. sigh….

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!

I would fully line the bodice in something soft and non transparent, such as Radiance, a silk cotton blend. Shiny side on the inside so it will be slippery and comfortable.

If don’t want any show through at the neck, darts and armscyes, you can add an underlining to the bodice. Again, it should be something opaque.

@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web!

@Deb
I still can’t figure out how to insert a link or an attachment of correct size.

I am like magneto at times. I just approach it and it doesn’t work.

Hello. Is this pattern for a B cup? If so, I will need to do an FBA. Are there instructions included in the pattern for this adjustment? Thx.

Oops…and idea on finishing the neckline, too.

I’m tempted to just order the dress, but my daughter is a skinny kid with a long torso, so fit is never simple.

Hi there! My daughter is slated to be a flower girl in my sister’s wedding, and while looking for dress ideas I came across this one:

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.

Don’t worry Deb, I’ve only just learned how to do it – really savvy me!

What about a pintucked feature down the side of a pair of trousers?

@cybele727
When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂

Deb,
Maybe it is just me, but when I click on that link, I am told I don’t have access to that account. I think you posted a link that is for the author of a page, and since the blog id is a number, we can’t search for the blog…..
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

Dang… my last post entry was directed to Frances/Suzanne but the link didn’t appear. Ooops.
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 11 years ago

The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

My daughter’s most worn items by far have been the first three O+S items I made: three Class Picnic Blouses (https://www.flickr.com/photos/130325089@N02/16191293655/).
