Kudos to you for sticking it out. Since this sort of thing is on my never-going-to-sew list, I really can't offer any sort of insight into the construction/fit. Sorry! It's definitely looking better though, you're almost there!CGCouturehttp://countrygirlcouture.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-61906981339945368202012-04-06T09:15:46.164-04:002012-04-06T09:15:46.164-04:00Thanks Rachel!

One bit of a...This is coming together really well! One bit of advice: the final muslin really needs to have the sleeves attached because without the sleeves there a tendency to over fit the bodice and inadvertently remove wearing ease (I've done this myself). A jacket muslin without the sleeves should have a small ripple at the back of the armsyce and I don't see that here hence my fear that the muslin is over fitted. Also yes the shoulder pads do need to be basted or pinned into the muslin to perfect the fit.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-24977393074687003852012-04-06T03:29:42.018-04:002012-04-06T03:29:42.018-04:00I feel like i need to give you a little "you ...I feel like i need to give you a little "you can do it!" cheer from the sidelines. the most recent muslin is looking pretty good. <br /><br />With regards to ease in the sleeve, 1" ease will be fine, as it's easier to ease in thicker fabrics (i've found) like the jacketing you'll be using.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-940894320560900942012-04-05T22:00:09.497-04:002012-04-05T22:00:09.497-04:00Thank you Victoria!

I wouldn't worry about that bit of folding in the back, I suspect when when you put in the sleeve it will be fine.<br /><br />Perhaps in the future it would be worth it to trace off the pattern once it's printed and assembled? I generally prefer to just print again, but then I've never made five muslins...<br /><br />Good luck. I am so impressed. Quick thought---do the shoulder-pads affect the bust point at all? Because it looks DAMN PERFECT where it is in 5 and I'd hate to see it thrown off even a cm.Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-66376405575594126762012-04-05T17:21:40.487-04:002012-04-05T17:21:40.487-04:00are your body parts hurting because they are in re...are your body parts hurting because they are in rebellion against future muslin fittings?<br /><br />that side view is gorgeous.

Before I did any cutting I marked the line with a highlighter to be sure I had the right one. Then I went over it again and corrected the highlights that were wrong since I got off the right line a few times. This really helped me to cut on the correct line. I don't know why, but the correct lines are really hard to follow on this pattern.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.com
