This is the 2nd night in a row I try to finish this dress and I am in tears from frustration. I am making view B in size 3T. Overall, the pattern was relatively easy to follow. While I don’t consider myself an advanced sewer – I am quite capable of following patters and normally don’t have too many isseus. That said, I am about to attach the skirt to the yoke – pretty much the final step in what looks to be a very nice looking dress. However – I am having an issue…
I can pin the front part of the “top” part of dress to the bottom w/out problems – but the two back panels are not lining up. They are too long! almost 2 inches. I have rechecked the pattern I traced – looked at all the steps and the only place where I think I may have gone wrong was in making the bodice part at the very beginning – but that was the simplest and can’t see how I made such a big mistake that the back of my bodice is not lining up with the bottom of the dress on the back.
Am I doing something wrong? I almost feel like just cutting the back part of the bodice but I hate not doing this right….
Any help or words or wisdom someone can share will be much appreciated! I am trying to finish this dress for my daughters xmas pictures on Sat. so my desperation is growing.
Thanks.
Marta
