Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoSo this has become the inspiration dress: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76420524903361892/ I ran up a muslin this weekend because I needed to draft sleeves so I could best make use of the eyelet border. Also, I lowered the neckline of my base pattern to match the inspiration dress. I just ordered silk charmeuse for the sash. I might line it…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agomeasure your high bust and your full bust. If there is more than 2″ difference, using your high bust will help you get the correct fit in the shoulders and over all bodice. So if your high bust is 34″ but your full bust is 38″, you want to pick the pattern bust size 34. Then, you add width and length to accommodate the bust fullness.
It all takes…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI’m totally new to the world of adult sewing, and I’m hoping that this is one of those obvious things that everyone knows (and can tell me, cause I don’t).
I’m trying to find the correct pattern size to use to make bust adjustments. As per all the advice I can see, I have taken my high bust measurement. None of the patterns I have offers a high…[Read more]

Use your high bust measurement as your bust measurement. As an example, for the Gallery Tunic my full bust measurement is a size 20, but my high bust measurement is a 16. I sewed the 16 and added a full bust adjustment. This means the shoulders fit far better. Does that help?

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoThat’s a cute dress! I love Rachel Comey’s designs.
It’s difficult to see the details in the photos, but I’d tend to start with the Gallery Tunic if I was doing it. It’s the closest silhouette to this dress, but you’ll still need to do some work to get the right look. I hope it works and you keep us posted on your progress!
