totchipandaI took a nap when I got home, that was lovely, and needed. After I got up again, and had dinner, I took about an hour to work on the dress again.
Bodice came off, front darts got redistributed, side seams got taken in, bodice was reattached. And the verdict is... still needs some tweaks. The bodice is just too big. The skirts are... a lil strange. I made the back darts wide and didn't have to adjust for the narrowed side seams. (I took those in as a very long dart to the hip notch; I think I'd like to lessen that angle somewhat) The front, correspondingly, didn't have the side notches line up well. It was a little snug across my belly.
Then I took 10 mins to do a small bust adjustment on the lining piece, just to compare it with the folded-down front piece. I think the SBA might be the way to go; it takes out both height and width and makes the piece smaller than the folded-down one. But that is a later problem. It's after 9pm now and nothing good happens, sewing wise, after 9 pm when you have to make complicated decisions.
