I think the only advice I have is to make sure the side seam is completely vertical all the way down, and make your fitting changes to that it is. And I think that might be best achieved during tissue fitting - at least, that's how I worked my fix.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-58780307002580908802014-01-31T10:35:50.577-06:002014-01-31T10:35:50.577-06:00Hellllp :)

I agree you should make more versions! Go ahead and buy extra fabric...if it's from the same bolt it doesn't count! I recently starting buying things in doubles...when you like something it's better to have spares!Sewing Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337829909003253138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-5971452261013458302014-01-28T05:46:11.964-06:002014-01-28T05:46:11.964-06:00Thanks, Kim.
