What a refreshing post! Your fittin...Dear Cassidy,<br /><br />What a refreshing post! Your fitting experiences are very real, and so very common among so many of us. What you have that we do not is first-hand knowledge of the original garments, so you know what might be at issue when the fit is not quite the way you want it. For example, knowing that laid flat, a sleeve set 18th century style would want to go straight out at right angles to the bodice. What a helpful piece of information.<br /><br />Further, you're willing to admit that some things just have to wait, either for a better moment, or until next time. Ah, that makes me feel so much better. Sometimes after futzing around for ages I just have to say "okay, enough", and move on. (Hair, for example. Hair is my downfall.)<br /><br />Anyhow, enjoyed the post, oh, and enjoyed seeing the rounded edges on your gown. What a pretty variation!<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848073453811666225.post-51452512967667170242013-12-14T08:19:26.552-05:002013-12-14T08:19:26.552-05:00Are you certain that your dress form is a woman dr...Are you certain that your dress form is a woman dress form?
