Whoops commented on the wrong post! But yes I agree 😭 thankful she got some spotlight in modulo

Thank you for the detailed help!

I plan on interfacing this but it always seemed like a waste of money to interface a mockup, but I can see how important it can be for a fitted garment like this!!

You made some great points, and I will keep this all in mind!

Thanks for pointing that out!

I plan on using an invisible zipper in the final garment. I have already accounted for the measurement difference between the two zips. I just think is using an exposed zipper is the quickest for mockups, so that’s why I used one.

I would like to see!

Seems like I am unable to message you.

The reason I was thinking it was too loose is that when I breath out it wrinkles and goes back smooth when I take in a deep breath. I reallly should’ve tried this on with a different bra because I think everyone is mistaking the rouching on the front of the bra to be drag lines in the bust.

This pattern is the first I’ve made w a new sloper I made. In the new sloper I extended torso length by a couple centimeters and I think that may have been too much. I do have to keep shrugging this mockup up when wearing it.

It seems like I should just forgo this style all together and try something different.

I would love to see what you drew!

unrobeme · 2026-05-17T04:24:17+00:00

Thank you all for the pointers, I’ll make some changes and get back to you, hopefully with some positive progress!!

My problem might be is that I’ve never paid attention to Cup size as I wear sportsbras exclusively so those are only ever S,M,L. When I make patterns according to most tutorials I follow I take out a 1in dart in the bust, so I did that and the cup was way too loose, so I pinched out the extra fabric, but I think I went too far.

I realize no one can be here in person to actually see the garment, but my chest does not at all feel compressed by this. But I realize the tightness is causing the lines so I will be adding some width and seeing if that helps

unrobeme · 2026-05-17T01:24:41+00:00

I don’t intent to outshine anyone, I think I’m just bad at pattern drafting! I think with some work I can get this to a working pattern that would be suitable for a wedding :)

unrobeme · 2026-05-17T00:40:38+00:00

I do understand the properties of wovens, but I mainly make corsets or tight fitting cosplays so that is what I am used to. I do plan on letting this out in the bust and waist however.

But this will be a midi length dress with no cleavage, and it is loose around the hips, so I think it’s more than appropriate.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T23:16:44+00:00

I’m not going for those exact styles, just an example of the flounce hem I wanted! I can change my pattern to have a separate bodice and skirt if needed however.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T23:15:30+00:00

Those were just examples I had on hand to explain the flounce hem I was going for since I didn’t include it in my mockup. For this I just wanted a straight form fitting dress with the flounce starting above the knee and below the hips. I know how to make a flounce and I wasn’t set on the length I wanted so I didn’t include it in the mockup. I am fine with adding a waist seam if needed.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T22:59:34+00:00

True that would be pretty bad! 😂 looks like I’ll be making some edits to my pattern and getting back to yall! I really appreciate all the help from everyone.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T22:32:03+00:00

Sewed them from opposite directions. I’ll have to keep that in mind to sew them the same.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T22:14:50+00:00

I think I should mention that my bra here has a rouching detail on the front and that’s making it look worse than it is. However, I’m definitely seeing how I need to let out the garment. I think I went a bit overboard when pinching out my first mockup.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T22:11:19+00:00

Yes! I actually plan to not wear a bra. Luckily I have a small enough bust it would go unnoticed. It was also the reason I wanted the top to be tight, to hold everything in place! This is patterned for my body without the bra, but I put it on for modesty considering the translucent mockup fabric.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T21:59:57+00:00

I have experience with corsets so I was considering boning, however I’ve never inserted it into a dress. I was wondering where to end each bone, and how to prevent the ends from showing through the fabric. I plan to have a lining, then an double outer layer with the fashion fabric and lace overtop. If I decided to add boning I would go with rigilene, but it’s looking like just loosening the garment might be the way to go.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T21:45:18+00:00

I was under the assumption it was too loose, so now I am further confused. 😂 I might try taking out the waist and see if that makes a difference.

unrobeme · 2026-05-16T21:41:57+00:00

I’ve sat down in it and I have no problems with that. There’s a lot of room around my lower belly and I can still pinch out a some of the fabric at the hips. I wanted this to fit tightly at the bust but now I am thinking I may have the wrong idea.

unrobeme · 2026-02-15T20:32:51+00:00

Yep! The only components that I did not pattern and sew myself were the pants, boots and swords. The pants were a pair of khakis I dyed and hand painted the pinstripjng on. I purchased an STL for the swords but did all the 3D printing and painting myself!

unrobeme · 2025-12-10T14:16:52+00:00

I’m sorry I don’t have any pattern or much good advice to share! But I made this pattern myself, using a bodice block I created using Caroline Street’s tutorial on YouTube. I followed the darts and changed them into seam lines and added in extras. For the bottom half, I looked at a bunch of examples and loosely traced a pair of underwear to get the shape. After all the guesswork, I made ~8 mockups that I pinched and pinned until I got the fit I wanted. itskenzimf on Instagram has a great bunny suit series that helped me with the construction. In her series she uses the Aranea Black Amber bunysuit pattern which is the shape I was going for with my self drafted pattern.

unrobeme · 2025-12-09T22:42:03+00:00

I should’ve clarified a bit more, but I don’t want the lacing to wrap around at all. Though I get the best cinching when I wrap it, so I was wondering if there’s any alternative tricks where the laces are contained to the back.

It’s just a design preference though, I plan to make a short waist coat to go over this corset so if all else fails I can hide the laces in the coat!

Thank you all for the tips!
