Look Ma, it Fits! (Mini-Update)

I am still working on getting that woven blouse to fit. I have been really busy and short on time to post Part II of this series. I have made significant progress and hope to get some details up soon. School is almost over and I will have more time to devote to this project.

In the meantime, below is a quick summary of what's to come in Parts II and III. I'll discuss:
  • reasons why I chose to tackle McCall's 5522
  • how I made the FBA on the front pattern piece
  • how sewing the same pattern with some of my sewing friends has provided wonderful enlightenment and many a-ha moments
  • revelations about how fitting sleeves is just a pain in the *ss and reasons why this blouse is on its way to becoming sleeveless =)
Until next time,

L~

    Congrat on fitting your blouse. I truely understand about fitting the arm. Although I have had some success in fitting my arms, it's proven to be my greatest challenge so far.

    You should get the DVD "Full Busted Sew clothes that fit" by Palmer & Pletsch. All three of my daughters and myself are large busted and it helped me so much. You start with a smaller size pattern so the neck and armholes fit and then you add for the full bust. It works so good. It's only $19.95 so not to expensive. Good luck. Enjoy your blog.
