The more I sew, the more I'm convinced that the pattern is really more of a road map - the details are often determined by my body shape, which generally doesn't fit that map!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-54956295771983730102014-03-19T21:37:46.755-05:002014-03-19T21:37:46.755-05:00just found this in my search for info on strap pla...just found this in my search for info on strap placement on hazel. my straps also are coming out (if i want them to cover my bra straps) right on the seam line. i thought maybe i was crazy or doing something wrong because in most images people seem to have placed them where the dots are... yet i also noticed a lot of exposed bras! so glad to see you opted to shift them and i will also.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814563626723851365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-61791144006924980822013-06-16T09:39:01.353-05:002013-06-16T09:39:01.353-05:00Thank you, Kelly!Thank you, Kelly!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-10122444481681996492013-06-15T18:32:32.650-05:002013-06-15T18:32:32.650-05:00This looks so cute!

I'm not surprised - you are the eyelet queen!<br /><br />In retrospect, I think this was a good choice for me as an early foray into pattern alteration. There are so many places you can adjust this dress to get a better fit: strap placement, bodice adjustments and choosing the size skirt you need for your bottom half.
