Being petite seems to emphasize curves, so I have not had the guts to try a dress like this. Maybe once I get the courage, and skill, to make one for myself I'll go for it - since if it doesn't work out I've invested my own time and effort instead of a lot of money.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896431036339191450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-9968583612190603942010-10-14T11:44:04.598+01:002010-10-14T11:44:04.598+01:00Great Post!!

Not tight, though. I chose my size by my high bust measurement, then did the FBA, then I think I added on a bit more around the hip (can't remember! it might be in the post!)<br /><br />http://thesnugbug.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-green-dress-served-three-ways.html#more[patty the snug bug]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830791771911214780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-41118590478533530892010-10-12T18:15:32.478+01:002010-10-12T18:15:32.478+01:00Oh, and minnado, DO IT!!!!!!!

I am far from an expert when it comes to fitting, but I did figure out two things that may be of worth to pass on:<br /><br />1) When I made mine I used a woven fabric with a bit of stretch in it. MUCH more comfortable to wear and a sleeker fit than a completely non-stretchy vintage wiggle dress I have from the 1960's. We are lucky enough to live in a time when fabric with elastane/lycra is an option: use it!<br /><br />2) In response to the comment from sownbrooklyn, I'm not sure if I would class myself as a pear but my lower half is definately half or a whole size bigger than my top, so I tend to grade either the top part of the dress pattern down a size or the bottom part of the pattern up a size depending on the pattern I bought. <br /><br />3) Get someone who knows their way around a pot of pins to help you fit a wiggle dress. There is no way on earth you can fit the back of a this type of dress on your own if you want the nicest fit. It's tricky getting garments to fit but not too tight and I think this type of dress shows up ill-fitting more than others might.<br /><br />Congrats Patty on your creation, do you have a link where we could check it out?<br /><br />Good luck frk.busted, if anyone could make/rock an awesome vinatge flavoured wiggle dress, it's you!<br /><br />Lore, as sad as the change of seasons are for us in UK right now, I'm excited for you to be able to wear your stunning floral dress! I bet you end up getting heaps of wear from it, it's such an awesome garment.<br /><br />xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxZoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893813529679767893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-65490079375569312412010-10-12T13:48:28.780+01:002010-10-12T13:48:28.780+01:00Great post on one of the iconic fashions.

I am eternally regreting the fact that my mum threw out two 1950s cocktail dresses of my very elegant grandma's about 15 years ago. I have been a bit chicken about trying to sew a wiggle dress but do have a suitable pattern....maybe I could recreate grandma's cocktail dresses.Minnadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838971800070422776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-6791828718431387652010-10-12T01:50:18.957+01:002010-10-12T01:50:18.957+01:00I love sheath dresses, but I am decidedly pair sha...I love sheath dresses, but I am decidedly pair shaped so it is near impossible for me to fit into them and sewing my own seems daunting.

I mean, if it isn't perfectly fitted (as you also say), it won't look any good. And if it is too tight, it's just vulgar. Please show us the leopard dress again (because it is so gorgeous), and if you have any tips on fitting wiggle skirts (I'm especially thinking of sway backs) please share!frk.bustadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905037626664748421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-87145530656889059642010-10-11T12:41:07.467+01:002010-10-11T12:41:07.467+01:00Yay!

Much to my surprise, I found that once in control of the proportions of the garment, it was actually QUITE flattering and not evocative of the stuffed sausage look that the RTW sheath dresses I'd tried on had been! I still feel more comfy in full circle skirts (especially as the hem doesn't ride up when I sit down like a sheath dress does!) but I'm certainly planning on adding a few more sheath dresses to my wardrobe... if I ever get my Lady Grey done![patty the snug bug]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830791771911214780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-21510684411431961882010-10-11T12:30:20.094+01:002010-10-11T12:30:20.094+01:00I love this post!
