Hi Debra, sorry for the delayed response, the holidays have been hectic ! Not sure it quite fits me so well now after all the indulging 😉 Happy New Year's!
Just happened to see this video, the bust adjustment was fascinating. Not sure I could do it but will see if I can figure it out. I'm not short waisted but other than that, your measurements are the same as mine so I believe your coming videos will be helpful.
Nice, nice result. Pattern fitting is always an exercise in problem-solving. It's so individual too, I have found the high bust measurement gives me a much more accurate fit. I usually require a forward shoulder adjustment and sometimes a narrow shoulder adjustment. I have also found that fabric choice makes a tremendous difference in success and not so much (I don't like the term fail because if I have completed it it's a win in my book).
Thank you Jan. Yes! It is all about problem solving, and I love it!! I think I might be getting the Vogue shell pattern for Christmas and I can't wait to figure out how to get it to fit me ☺️. I also don't like the term fail, every garment I make gets me a little bit closer to being a better sewist ☺️
Please do a full tutorial. I am a beginner sewist and I need all instructions from the adjustments to how to sew seams. Please do not skip anything as I plan to sew this dress. Thank you in advance.
Omg only just saw your comments Diane, so sorry for not replying sooner, it's been crazy with the run up to Christmas! I hope you had a wonderful holidays. Thank you for the comment, I wouldn't have thought I could do this a few years ago, but it's all in the Practice, physical and mental ☺️ Happy New Year's!!
Maybe, but I am quite short waisted and adding more length would have made the waist lower on me, I don't know? What do you think? Do you think the waist is too high? I am still learning and this was the 1st time I've tried ☺️
I just bought this pattern and it looks so good on you!
I would also love to see a full sew-along for this dress. Looks fantastic.
Hi Anna, I think I might just have to do another one soon, I do love it so much, I just have to find the right fabric! Luckily the sales are on ☺️
@@sewcolette I'll be so happy to watch you and hopefully sew along.

Thank you Migo!! I love wearing the dress too, it feels so nice to have it fit better because of the changes!!
Cute. Fits like a glove to me.

Hi Betsy, Good luck with the FBA, I think its helped me loads. Dont forget to tell me how it worked out, I'd love to know. :)

Hi Michelle, thank you! I'm really chuffed with the way it's come out!
I'm so glad you love it. I was a little confused about how you did the FBA but it worked out so all is well. Nice job.
Thank you!
Very very nice.
Thank you Sandrea!! There is a new video up if you'd like to try that one too!!

Hi Janice, thank you!! I love it too 💗
Most FBA add additional length to the bodice. Your method did not. Do you think you needed that additional length?
Maybe, but I am quite short waisted and adding more length would have made the waist lower on me, I don't know? What do you think? Do you think the waist is too high? I am still learning and this was the 1st time I've tried ☺️
