Personally, I never go for a commercial pattern with seam allowances, because they are almost always excessively wide to begin with, and make alterations unnecessarily more tricky. For some reason I find it much easier to work with pieces that I have drawn the seam allowances on myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-15660385922495421952014-09-26T08:48:22.154-07:002014-09-26T08:48:22.154-07:00You are incredible!!!You are incredible!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-48552946453537745512014-09-23T04:41:15.333-07:002014-09-23T04:41:15.333-07:00This dress is looking fabulous already.

To me it looks as if it's too wide for the skirt and would make the wearer look broad beamed. Whereas a narrower panel with the gathers from the back coming around the sides would be more slimming. But what do I know? Look forward to seeing the finished dress!

I have a Marfy pattern that I have not wanted to tackle and now I see that if I make a muslin and thread trace the seams, then I can try to put the pieces together. Why didn't I think of that since the solution is so obvious? It will be my first Marfy pattern.Pamela Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763103403654797426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-91655180152284121402014-09-22T07:39:44.474-07:002014-09-22T07:39:44.474-07:00Thank you so much for sharing these construction d...Thank you so much for sharing these construction details.
