First of all soundslike the fabric stretched.under the stress of getting so cleft? It happens. Second, most bond stuff in my experience hast to be somewhat over fixed with no ese and mat be measuring up to four inches less around than the body it is going to fit. The two sampled of this in rely life are cosettles and tight jeans. and -----Original Message----- Date: Sunday, June 24, 2012 9:10:51 pm To: "'Historical Costume'" <h-cost...@indra.com> From: "Sharon Collier" <sha...@collierfam.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Dang! WTH Happened?
To make it fit better, maybe put in some loops made of piping at the back (or front, depending on the look she wants) and then a lace, so she can tighten or loosen it to fit.

WTH Happened? I just finished a 50's sundress for my daughter. It has a fitted boned bodice with a natural waist and a full skirt. I spent a lot of time fitting the bodice snugly to her. After one wearing she can stick her hand down the bodice and the straps are falling down her arms. It's 100% quilting cotton. It was pretortured and we've washed & dried it again; it's still too large. I'll rewash & dry it and then I'll have to take it in. I'm frustrated. Any idea what could have happened? The bodice is even lined.
