It fits.
On my body.
Whew!
Not gonna lie, there are fitting problems... like those ripples on the bodice. I don't think that's just because I used a relatively cheap muslin, so boo...
The dress is as fitted as I want for it to be, meaning it is not too tight or too loose. And that's on the first shot at drafting, so I am pretty pleased with myself. But there are things I need to fix on the muslin...
- those ripples! urgh...
- A lining. The pictures you see are unlined. I will have to take the dress apart for a lining pattern, so yeah....
- room for cups maybe? The back means no conventional bra, strapless or otherwise, so I am trying to decide if I want to mess with an unconventional one... Right now I am leaning towards no. If I already had one I'd do it...
- the straps
I think it looks great! Instead of worrying about the back/bra dilemma, you could just use those cuos that stick to your skin when you wear the dress.
