IMHO the seam under the bust should be an inch or two higher(closer to the bust), and the hem would look better hitting just at the bottom of the hip. This is only an observation from the photos and may not be accurate. I love your work. You are an awesome seemstress. This one just seems a bit off size.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224219410776083011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-62712245093464074452012-07-17T13:45:20.748-07:002012-07-17T13:45:20.748-07:00Ooh that is a great pattern for a striped fabric. ...Ooh that is a great pattern for a striped fabric.
