I think I'm going to gut the last dress I made. I'm still... really not happy with it. Obvious I need to fix the sleeve bottom that's the wrong way round (hur), but the messy lace at the neckline is annoying the heck out of me too. Not to mention, why is every single dress I make too big on me? I make the top to my size, and it's still not fitted (this being on any regular patten, not counting Truly Victorian ones).

Which reminds me, after having modified the Pink/Marie Antoinette dress to fix the gaping neckline, I realise that this happens in most things I make... even though I make the pattern to my exact bust measurement. Maybe my shoulders are too small in relation to my chest?


Any suggestions oh great sewing buff friends?
