I am wondering how big the seam allowances are when you stitch the legs? I would think, as small as practical. Love your tutorials, you're a born teacher.

I had already sewn the side seams when you posted this so tried to insert a one piece but it was not going well. Decided to unpick seams and follow your tutorial. I think I also need to look at the shape of my gussets as I changed the bodice pattern. For a new and accurate gusset pattern would I just measure from main bodice and add seam allowances?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054640961472954823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-15903420133450905902012-01-12T12:55:27.462-05:002012-01-12T12:55:27.462-05:00Thank you very much for the tutorial on gussets. ...Thank you very much for the tutorial on gussets. Do you have any tips for adding gussets that are not part of the original design? In general, how long should the sides be? Any info on this would be appreciated.

This was one of my mothers favorite dress patterns! I think I fit into it for 2 months during high school. I loved it, nonetheless. <br />2. Have you seen the new ad on tv for the men's jeans with "ball room"? I think it is Duluth Trading. The pants and the ad make me giggle, but I bet it makes the pants wicked comfortable. <br />3. @LinB - thanks for the comments about oval side seam gussets...have been thinking about modifying some old t-shirts, and an oval gusset is exactly what I need! <br />4. @Laura - no it doesnt have to be silk organza, but it does need to have a soft 'hand'. If the organza adds any extra stiffness to the underarm gussett, it will look strange and be very uncomfortable and itchy.JMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612218317991092804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-83644938054134894782012-01-10T17:19:53.319-05:002012-01-10T17:19:53.319-05:00Thanks for the tutorial Gertie!

A long oval inserted into a side seam, from waist to elbow, can transform a dress for someone who has a larger-than-average bosom, or heavy biceps. And crotch gussets can relieve stress for someone with a heavy bottom or thighs.
