Grr... I still haven't officially posted about that dress cause I'm just not psyched about it. For something that seems so simple, it really is tough to fit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-6842535436536580442012-01-16T23:05:04.767-06:002012-01-16T23:05:04.767-06:00Yeah, I barely fill out an A cup so the thought of...Yeah, I barely fill out an A cup so the thought of me doing an FBA made me LOL.

This evening's conclusion is that I'm going to leave the vertical darts where they are but move the side darts down (I am 47, after all - there's been a fair amount of sagging!) on the size 0, BUT make a full muslin, not just the bodice. I think I'm getting tripped up by not having the whole picture.<br /><br />I was surprised you were doing a FBA, based on your other projects you've written about . . .Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-19417692199533327322012-01-16T19:30:33.957-06:002012-01-16T19:30:33.957-06:00Maybe you are like me and need a smaller size with...Maybe you are like me and need a smaller size with an FBA....

This park always looks nice :-)<br /><br />Lizz: yes, that's why! And why we were all so jealous!<br /><br />Ginger: I'm thinking I'm going to post that as a question on the Colette website, or just email Sarai or Caitlin. I'm really curious about it. <br /><br />Sometimes I wish I didn't live here (if I had my 'druthers, I'd live in the woods!) but there's no denying it's a beautiful city with a lot of fantastic photo ops!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-12652465053336997282012-01-16T16:45:15.133-06:002012-01-16T16:45:15.133-06:00PS-- I like your new header!

It's really hard to see the bust darts on the two examples from the Colette website, so I'm not sure what their intention was. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the photos-- they made me homesick! Sometimes I don't realize how much I really miss Chicago!
