Do you have enough fabric to cut another front bodice? The small bust adjustment basically involves taking a tuck right across the front bodice, so you'll need to make the change to the pattern. I'm working on a tutorial on this for the Parfait dress, but I don't know if it will be done in time for you. When's your trip?Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-85223395875755795612009-06-25T18:37:01.435-04:002009-06-25T18:37:01.435-04:00I love how your dress turned out!

I've got the "boobs too small" problem also and I am swimming in my bodice!<br />I'm freaking out. I'm usually the kind of person that just puts a project away if it causes too much trouble. I am determined not to do that this time.

I look at it periodically, and it's a great site.<br /><br />Kathi, I've been coveting the Claire Shaeffer book for a while. Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing isn't the best sewing guide, it's more of an interesting peek into 50's patterns and techniques. And it's got great photos! I'm going to post on my other fave sewing books soon.<br /><br />Meredith, there will definitely be more kitties! :)Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-73214803794472515282009-06-24T14:36:20.889-04:002009-06-24T14:36:20.889-04:00Love the pink dress.

I have a few projects to finish up first. You mentioned the vintage Vogue book for better sewing. May I suggest Couture Sewing Techniques by Claire Shaeffer. It is to die for. I have been sewing since I was 10 and this book has opened my eyes to true couture sewing. It is well worth it even if just for the history of couture sewing. I got it used for really cheap on Amazon. I am going to look up the Vogue's new book for better sewing. <br />Thanks for sharing<br />Kathi GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20775697729518288522009-06-24T03:18:24.680-04:002009-06-24T03:18:24.680-04:00That's the cutest dress ever!That's the cutest dress ever!Bopalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131284760357233009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-47479061896262917842009-06-24T02:37:03.286-04:002009-06-24T02:37:03.286-04:00It's lovely!
