My main tip to help ensure that you're happy with the end result would be measure-measure-measure! Check the pattern matches your body. And I'd check all of it, not just the standard checking-the-bodice-length, but also things like the shoulder width and sleeve length- the lot! It'll seem like a faff, but I think you'll then put the odds firmly in your corner that your dress will fit as you want it to without needing stretchy jersey fabric! <br />I'll look forward to seeing it! :)Tanianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339413225576127640.post-79446537627338872512012-09-11T10:32:42.025+01:002012-09-11T10:32:42.025+01:00You can make the Cambie dress!!!!
