I&rsquo;ve been working on this dress on and off for a few weeks now, finally finishing it last week only to put it on and realise despite all my tinkering it still doesn&rsquo;t quite fit right!<br> I re drafted the front into a princess seam, which I think works well on a larger bust, but kept the back bodice darted, which hasn&rsquo;t worked well at all!<br> My upper back is rounded and wider than might be expected, while my rib cage is actually very narrow, so fitting my back is often more of a challenge than fitting my bust&hellip;.the problem with learning about fit is the more you know, the more you find there is to learn&hellip;.actually that&rsquo;s how it is with sewing anyway, and why I love it so much!</p>
