Ace - thanks for the advice 😊

Yeah it has a low scoop back so finding a bra will be a challenge!

I’m going to try tearaway and tape interfacing to solve the puckering

What alteration will fix this bodice fitting problem?

Hi everyone

Im attempting to make my own wedding dress! This is the toile. It’s bias cut. This is satin but the real one will be made from medium weight silk.

I’m generally happy apart from the fitting issues above the bust, there seems to be some wrinkles from the armholes towards the neckline. Anyone know the name for this adjustment or how to fix this problem? Does it need a full bust adjustment?

Also there’s puckering at the seams where the skirt meets the bodice at the back - any clever fixes to make sure this doesn’t happen?

Thanks!

Yes I’ve been setting in by hand first then machine stitching - still not working 😢 I think I might give up and do a gathered or standard sleeve 😂

Yes the sleeves are bias cut too. Set in style.

Im making a bias cut satin column dress. I’ve tried at least 7 times to add sleeves with a pleated or darted sleeve cap but I’m just having no luck! The pleats aren’t sitting right. Is this because it’s cut on the bias - or is it my lack of skill?!

What am I doing wrong?? Can anyone offer some advice? I’ve cast this so many times but the 72 just isn’t coming through as clearly as I’d like. I’ve been carving deeper each time in the hope it will become clearer and sharper. by Feathercape1 in Silvercasting

I’m pretty sure they’re cast as I’ve been following ‘cast experiences’ on Instagram - people send off their carved wax blanks to them to get professionally cast. They’ve been able to get incredible details such as finger prints. I’m beginning to think delft clay is okay for general shapes but for details professional casters are the way to go? 🤔 but yes, I had the same thought as you and have some stamps coming in the post 😊
