So nice for you to have 3 generations of ladies to lunch with.<br /><br />I have made this dress too. I also did a myriad of fittings and probably around a dozen (no exaggeration) adjustments. It looks very nice on me too, I have to say. The biggest adjustment I made was to join the front pieces and recut the waist piece smaller. I just couldn't imagine that underbust piece doing me any kind of favours.<br /><br /> I think the shape is flattering on you though. I think in my case having uber boobage is a bit like the laws of nanophysics - the rules for what works for a curvy figure change when the size becomes disproportionally small or large. <br /><br />Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-27336727292346112182014-03-17T14:59:50.633+10:002014-03-17T14:59:50.633+10:00It is lovely and well worth persevering!It is lovely and well worth persevering!fabric epiphanieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315635356310954354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-82813999838901354352014-03-17T13:45:18.692+10:002014-03-17T13:45:18.692+10:00I can see why you took the time to finish this dre...I can see why you took the time to finish this dress.
