I think it is easier to see what to do from you muslin rather than the flat pattern. I think of that adjustment taking a tuck across the entire shoulder. Could you try pinning out 5/8″ and trying it on? That may help to show you what the…[Read more]

The back view where you have pulled the dress forward looks great, too! That side view picture is really helpful.
I’m having a little difficulty following your alteration, can you snap and post a pic of the alterations you made?

A couple of thoughts…

Fit is a process. It gets exhausting but it is so worth it.
As for the arms, I have VERY full biceps. I have a really hard time with fitted sleeves, but the other sleeve for this pattern I was able to use with ZERO adjustments. Maybe try it out?
As for the waist, at least the way I fit it, my natural waist hits at the…[Read more]

That is not really working like I thought it would. ๐Ÿ™‚
Iโ€™ll try under the bust and see if that makes a difference. Itโ€™s hard doing a muslin in a woven for a knit piece!

Complete guide for Fitting is just the updated version of FFRP. I donโ€™t think you need to do a body map with a different pattern, you can just do it with this pattern if you want.

I know some people really hate tissue fitting but it can be so helpful. My fit process for this pattern was 1) muslin size 14 (which was too big in the s…[Read more]

The 10 definitely looks too big in the shoulders.
Even the 8 is borderline. Technically with a 35″ high bust you should do a size six, but the 8 is probably doable if the 6 seems too extreme.

On the cup size. Your full bust is 38 and the finished measurements of the size 8C cup is only 38.5″ which is…[Read more]

The fit is actually great and if I didn’t want to modify it I would be good to go.
However, I want the bodice front to be more drapey like the attached pic. To achieve that, would I just add an even 3″ strip at center front?
I tried that but it…[Read more]

Can you post the other pics too?What are all of your measurements?

In general, if your shoulders fit but the bust is tight, you need more room in the bust (either an FBA or go up in the cup size).

I’ve been googling this like crazy but can’t find an answer. Hoping someone on this forum can help.
What kind of silk fabric is used for traditional men’s silk Pajamas, like the kind Audrey Hepburn wears in Charade? Is that silk satin? Charmeuse? I bought charmeuse but now I’m thinking that won’t have enough body.

Iโ€™ll try grading it.

High bust is 38โ€
Full bust is 41.5โ€
Waist is 35.5โ€
Hips are 37.5โ€

If this were a shirt Iโ€™d probably go with the 12 and do a fba. If it were a skirt Iโ€™d cut a 18. That feels like a lot of blending between sizes. Thoughts?

I know the button placement template says “copy placement to finished placket” but the template is much longer than my finished placket. Am I doing this correctly or should I have marked the placement before attaching?
Thanks!
