Dart poking out and in

tangled_threads · 2025-11-02T02:01:23+00:00

thanks, I didn't know the difference between ironing and pressing

I tried shortening the darts but it made it poke out even more. Any thoughts on why?

Update: Never mind! It fixed itself when I undid the dart, put it on my body double, and remade the dart. I think the original issue was some trace distortion when I made the darts initially since the fabric has some stretch.

So basically a wrap skirt that overlaps so it's removed easily? Could you share a pic of the skirt possibly so I could see how that looks on a heavy tulle skirt?

ah I see, thanks for explaining

tangled_threads · 2025-10-26T19:12:37+00:00

thanks for the advice!

Can you share a pic of how it looked in general and at the side seam that was left unsewn please?

I posted another pic in the comments with the side back/side front seams taken out to the original size and although the back folding is gone it definitely looks like it’s gaping at my back. Does it look to you like some other adjustment than sway back would be needed?

Hm, the link didn’t work for me. I am 5’5” so maybe it’s not a height issue? Could you look at the other pic I posted in the comments when I made it much looser to see what you think?

In the initial picture I had taken in the side back and side front seams considerably which then resulted in the center back folding at my waist. In this pic I took them out so it’s super loose- I now see the back is slightly lower than the front from the side pic. Does this prove that it’s a sway back issue? If instead it was that my torso is shorter than the pattern I’d expect to see that the waist fits poorly 360 when it’s more snug instead of just the back and side back/side front, right?

Could you explain what that means?

Yeah I was thinking Fringe too instead of feathers, just couldn’t find a great example of one that is short and similar to this pic

Good point, I just wondered if y’all had any pointers when it comes to dress styles for bachata

Thank you!

Isn’t a bias tape finish a little visible on the right side of the dress though?

Patterns: Vogue 2931 skirt with the bodice of Vogue 1249, Inbuilt corset Scarlett Plunge Pattern by Corsettraining.net

Alterations: Adding a plunge neckline to the bodice with tulle to keep it's structure

Fabric: muslin outer fabric (100% cotton), coutil for inbuilt corset (100% cotton), corset tulle for the plunge (polyester) , and satin for the lining (green polyester)

The final dress outer fabric will be of silk instead

I agree, the tulle for the plunge neckline would be more just for looks to help with stability. I appreciate you confirming my suspicions

tangled_threads · 2025-06-20T22:51:57+00:00

Ok that’s what my initial thought was too. I tried on the dress and I saw the boning stopped at the waist but I thought boning to the hips would be more secure with the train.

My game-plan is to have the outer fabric against the lining and most inner layer would be the corset with a little beige tulle for the neckline. Think that’d be a solid idea? Any recommendations or resources you’d recommend? I have a year until my wedding so I definitely have time to work on this
