One thing is for sure, I'm not a D cup. I'm only a C cup. I saw the problem when I compared my moulage, but I decided that more ease is a good thing, right? Wrong.
Like Debbie, I needed to take a tuck to shorten the upper bodice. I also need to figure out how to do a SBA. Something I have absolutely no experience with. If I continue with this pattern, what I'll have to do is to use the ABC cup front tissue and do a FBA, because that I KNOW how to do. For now, however, I've decided to put this aside and work on something else.
I think this pattern could be a great spring top. In fact, I am going to use it for my One Patter, Many Looks entry. I can see it with all three length sleeves, lengthening it to a dress, and trying different embellishments on the yoke. Tomorrow I'm going to trace it, add my FBA and searching my stash for the perfect fabric. But first, of course, I'll have to make a muslin.

What pattern is the muslin?
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern. A muslin might be a good idea though. After my Ott cardy saga I'd be a little concerned about all the gathers and a possible preggy look. Then again I am a DD/E so there's a lot for the fabric to hang out from, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteJust made this pattern - it is really easy and cute. I was worried about the "maternity look" which considering my age would be ridiculous...but it's just fine. Be sure to interface the band. I'm a C too - and this was one of the RARE times I didn't do a muslin. Fits great. The only thing I changed was the length - I like my tops a little on the long side. I'll definitely make this one again.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherril ;)
ReplyDeleteYou make MUSLIN muslins for all your projects, eh? (You don't get an inexpensive "just like the REAL one" fabric, I mean...?)
