But I feel so much glee over sewing and NOT having a hideous pile of fabric on my swayback that I am in favor of shaping. So I say keep the darts. I think it looks better with them.The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-41100646931249272842011-06-02T15:56:37.390-04:002011-06-02T15:56:37.390-04:00The dress is looking good.

From here, it looks as if you could make the back darts deeper, or even add another 2 darts - possibly making them a bit shorter so there is plenty of fullness in the skirt still.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-14234379253881873202011-06-02T13:04:49.887-04:002011-06-02T13:04:49.887-04:00I like BlossomKyle too!

I definitely needed back darts for it to look okay, and I tried making several before I got it right. I think I would keep at it. I think you'll probably get something to work. And yes, I have seen the Style Arc patterns.(More temptation, eh?) I'll check out the one you mentioned. I don't know them by name, but I'd love to see which one it is that you like.MushyWearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298153126878457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-68385993095684805292011-06-02T11:37:17.373-04:002011-06-02T11:37:17.373-04:00BlossomKyle!

I had a hard enough time remembering people's real names at PR weekend and there was no chance I would remember PR names that had nothing to do with their real name.

If you're feeling like the back needs something more how about a tab like on Butterick 5523? Btw, my navy dot dress is suppose to have a fuller skirt. I just messed up the FBA but didn't realize it right away. I ended up making the midriff wider which took away from the fullness.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521791532735722062noreply@blogger.com
