Glad you have someone who can wear it though! <br />I've found that measuring the pattern flat in the key fit areas (bust, waist, hips) before I ever start cutting has helped me immensely. At least then I know if the size is even going to be close to what I'm after. I've also recently started cutting 1" seam allowances - it's a bit more work when cutting, but having that extra fabric really helps!Moxie Tonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306402827007809895noreply@blogger.com
