Looks really nice actually.

That puckering could be a grain issue. The fabric cold be off grain just a bit in that area. A seam roll and a regular ham will serve you well.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-78065994224291349262012-10-22T20:33:11.271-04:002012-10-22T20:33:11.271-04:00Amanda posed the question I was going to ask: of ...Amanda posed the question I was going to ask: of what fiber is your fabric? Last year, I made a skirt out of a 50 wool-50 polyester blend and it looked horrible. The polyester was just enough to not give me a good press no matter how much steam, pressure, or interfacing I used. <br /><br />The puckering could be caused by uneven tension as well. Will it drive you crazy when you wear it? Only you will know. =) <br /><br />I have a regular ham, purchased from JoAnn's on sale with a coupon. It's great for pressing darts, princess seams, and other curved edges. It's definitely it. I've been looking for a ham stand and like the one offered by Stitch Nerd. I have a seam roll as well and sometimes use it when I need to press open straight seams.<br /><br />And the award for world's longest comment goes to...Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384050927297629715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-66826663864342835742012-10-22T14:14:29.849-04:002012-10-22T14:14:29.849-04:00I think people are going to notice that awesome ne...I think people are going to notice that awesome neckline, and not anything else. beautiful dress.JuliaRuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078986627836901654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-32338299563685008472012-10-21T23:51:50.969-04:002012-10-21T23:51:50.969-04:00I'm really sorry you are having so much troubl...I'm really sorry you are having so much trouble. I have no advice but just wanted to tell you I've been there. Sewing is so fun when it goes well but incredibly frustrating when it doesn't. I am wondering what type of fabric you are using for this dress? Not that you can do anything about it now, but I have found that natural fibers press so much nicer then synthetics do. Just a thought for your next project. I hope you get it figured out!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.com
