The unflattering/didn't turn out right happened to me too. I love that fabric I just wish it wasn’t so expensive! The unflattering/didn’t turn out right happened to me too.

The dress was too full and unflattering. To 'save' it I added a casing inside the dress for 1/4 in. elastic. I placed it a few inches below the bust. Now the dress has shape and is attractive on. That might do the trick for your dress. The fabric is beautiful. A similar thing happened to me in a dress pattern I just sewed up. The dress was too full and unflattering.

Or darts? I think it looks too cute to abandon. How about some rows of elastic smocking? Or darts? I think it looks too cute to abandon.

I just got one of her patterns to make a dress and don't want to waist my time if it's not going to be flattering!?!?! Let me know if you could. Thanks! :) Is this one of Amy Butler’s patterns?

I love your pieced backs and notice that they are often different solid colours. When you are quilting do you use a different thread colour for the front and back? I often read how others tend to use the same colour and that your bobbin thread might show up? thanks!! jodym7@yahoo.com QUESTION: Hi Ashley, I just have a quick question.

They might help the front as well. If not, you can add them in the front as well. How about some darts in the back? They might help the front as well. If not, you can add them in the front as well.
