Int...Lovely frock Amanda, that fabric is stunning. Interestingly you made the exact same pattern adjustments that I did, which makes me wonder about the drafting, seeing I thought that it was just me. My sleeves are still quite, er, fitted. So fitted in fact that I cannot lift my arms above my head when wearing it! But that is OK as it is a "going out for a lunch frock" rather than a dancing frock. After much fiddling around trying to fix some gaping/pulling neckline situation, I found that the front and back necklines sat much better with a facing which I put straight over the lining. Can't quite explain why. But it is a definite "make again", after I have made all the other frocks on my list...Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907455480139667042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-48917378196138490042013-04-29T23:17:13.882-05:002013-04-29T23:17:13.882-05:00It is beautiful!

The listing description says the clothing are made in the Ukraine so I thought it was unlikely to be a listing you made, and figured I should bring it to your attention :)IreneDAdlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018529445706711464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-79964340568535459832013-04-25T18:55:35.591-05:002013-04-25T18:55:35.591-05:00Hi Homeon129acres!

Next time I do this I will prepare a tutorial as it's a little difficult to explain. Good luck on your dress!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-34762951726105986422013-04-25T18:53:16.507-05:002013-04-25T18:53:16.507-05:00Thank you Sallie!Thank you Sallie!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-71497065955432820932013-04-24T11:51:59.548-05:002013-04-24T11:51:59.548-05:00I'd love a little more info about your hem fac...I'd love a little more info about your hem facing technique.
