I will definately be trying out some of these collette patterns. They look very nice.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152509228698416413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-70963572782614695302009-07-20T23:53:43.347-04:002009-07-20T23:53:43.347-04:00I just muslined this out.

If I keep it there, I'll have to add some to the sides because it's hard to breathe. :) Two, did you find there was lots of extra fabric in the top bodice that had to be eased into the bottom bodice? On mine, there was each fabric I had to ease in. You can see the rippples on the back b/c I actually stretched my stretch twill to make it fit. I'm wondering since I'm making the size 0 if there is some funky drafting/grading thing going on. <br />You can see the photos on my blog.
