RE: Tailornova the real story (how I made the perfect dress)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Wow - in some ways the fit is perfect! I can understand your worry about the busts darts, they do look ... enormous ... but you say they are a perfect fit? Wow!
Now the neckline: what is going on there? that is very strange. At least it is too small and not too big. You can just take scissors to it 😂. I noticed in another blog post - the Annika video in my post - that you were provided with facings for knit necklines, when really a band or binding is needed for knit fabrics. The facings/binding is a small hack, and not really any problem. The tiny neckline is slightly more confusing and I would have to think more carefully to understand what happened there.
The shoulders, I think, are to do with both the slope of the shoulder (Tailornova curently gives no variations, although the bootstrap dress form had a range of shoulder slopes) and the relationship between the shoulder and the armhole. Again, I would need to think more about this!
Absolutely worth linking your post to Tailornova, I'm sure this is the feedback they need.
But the overall fit: just wow!
The bust darts are a real surprise... but yes, they fit really good, although I have such a small cup size (A or even AA). And I am happy you also think this is a success. Sometimes I cannot decide if a project worked out if I am too long on it, and by now I have tried to sew this style of dress definitely too often :-DDD
If you have an inspiration what to do with the shoulders, pleaseeeeeee tell me.
So far I have shared this post in tailornovas facebook group and on instagram, but I am not sure if they read the whole post (or only the very positive title).
I am so looking forward to other @needleworkmonday sewist experience with this software. I already thought that we could share an account, if for some the prize ist too heavy, as you could make several models with different sizes... (I also thought about sharing with Silvi, who has a different body type than me)
Right now I am sitting in our garden and watch as the snails eat up all veggies :-DDDD (but being outside is so wonderful)
