housecall started the topic Ribbon in the forum oliver + s: garden party 8 years ago
I am going to be starting my first garden party dress. I want to use ribbon in place of the contrast trim piece. Do I just substitute the ribbon for the waistband pieces? What about the front yoke? Or do I need to just apply it with edge stitching on top of the existing fabric pieces?

Thank you. This is my redo pair for my 4 year old son after his planned Christmas pair went missing before he received them. So, I’d like to finish without issue. 🙂

Would it be terrible to cut the shirt facing against grain? I made a cutting error and I only have enough contrast fabric if I cut it that way. I know it’s not ideal, but will it be a disaster?

Has anyone ever been able to turn a fabric tube of fine whale corduroy for the button loops for this dress? I’ve tried everything, but it’s too thick. I’m swapping hair elastic a instead!

This is a very novice question, but when cutting out the fabric for the straps, is 42″ the width (selvage to selvage) or the length? Does it matter? Is there a standard rule about which dimension is listed first in a pattern?
