Your advice are invaluable to me!! <br /><br />I've looked at the staying method you mention and need to find a source for silk organza in Montréal now! :D<br /><br />When my husband came home last night, I asked him to pin the back completely and realized it's a little tight when I cross my arms... <br /><br />I plan to add width to the back bodice along the zipper first, then try to fix the front gaping. Could the front gaping be minimized with shoulder angle alteration?CosmicCarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535320358935354963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442782859944143600.post-40596029330574003382011-08-08T10:05:14.404-04:002011-08-08T10:05:14.404-04:00You haven't stayed the neck nor is the facing ...You haven't stayed the neck nor is the facing attached, but it does seem to be standing away from the neck a bit. Pin out a dart or two and see how it lays. Take in that amount in small overlaps in the tissue. If you still have issues in the fabric, than you can use a stay tape in the seam line and ease the neckline to the tape. You can use Kenneth Kings staying method that's done before you even take it off the cutting table so that there is no chance of stretching. You can find it on Threads online.<br />This looks much better than your first muslin, congratulations!Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.com
