Dawn-- You can put a gusset under the arms. That would help a lot. Monica -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dawn Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 2:36 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] general fitting questions
I made up Vogue 7733 to wear at an event last week and had some fitting issues with it. http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/20000/itm_img/V7733.jpg Here's a bad pic of me wearing it: http://www.reddawn.net/temp/DSCN3883.jpg I know how to solve the falling-off-the-shoulders problem. What was killing me is that I can't raise my arms in this thing. The model in the first image demonstrates the limit of range-of-motion available. I had trouble just getting my shoulder bag on my shoulder because I couldn't lift my arms enough. How do I fix this? What do I need to adjust on the pattern so I can do more than just stand around and look pretty wearing this top? I don't need to do jumping jacks, but I couldn't even push my hair out of my face without difficulty.
