Also agree that the garment has to be worn to know how it's really going to wear and how you feel in it. This "test run" is lovely! The silk velvet one will be amazing!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-33467907362180423772015-09-23T11:20:19.902-07:002015-09-23T11:20:19.902-07:00Love this tea dress!

I can have something fit well, look pretty good, and love it but it is not until I've moved in it for a day that I really know how the fit is. I've actually gone back and added gussets and let out seam or taken them in after that first real wearing.

I think making a mockup dress is a good idea, especially when it's a beautiful wearable mockup.Mokkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177017454987136996noreply@blogger.com
