I wish that I had read this before buying...Aaargh. I wish that I had read this before buying ALL of the Drape, Drape and Shape, Shape books. Although I am a 5'7" RTW 8/10 and a sewing size 16, I am also WAAAY outside their guidelines. I graded up the One Piece Dress, and it worked, and I was so excited! Then I did the same process on the Three Piece Vest, and it is an ever-loving mess.

I knew that would apply to someone reading :-)<br /><br />Miss Sophie: What an inspiration your mother is. I'm sure you are going to be fantastic and you don't even have to wait!<br /><br />Kate: You are always right. But the 1-piece construction of this dress makes it hard to do - not cuz you can't put them in, but because it will mess with the line of the dress.<br /><br />Mardel: I've got to take the long view, yes? :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-45724505180468356152010-08-20T10:11:19.790-04:002010-08-20T10:11:19.790-04:00I think you have accomplished so much with this pr...I think you have accomplished so much with this project, but realize also, that despite knowing all that, not having something fabulous to show for it is a bit of a let down anyway.

It's funny, the old saying "you win some, you lose some" doesn't even apply to your situation. It's great you gained so much insight as you tried to work things out with the Drape Drape dress. And you learned alot in the process which is all any of us can ever hope to do. Anyhow, it didn't seem like an easy feat to alter in the first place. So I tip my hat to you for all of your perserverance and stick-to-it-tiveness (wink)!!!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055410123914346485noreply@blogger.com
