How rotten for you. Really rotten. Thank...Arrrgh! How rotten for you. Really rotten. Thankfully I'd say crumble and Tifanys should help! Then you can pat yourself on the back for being so talented AND generous to have made such a pretty dress especially for your sister ;-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401124377008075764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020871153616669660.post-61626695129010846282011-04-28T16:58:07.098+01:002011-04-28T16:58:07.098+01:00oh hon, I really feel for you, it is to frustratin...oh hon, I really feel for you, it is to frustrating.charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152146546465975329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020871153616669660.post-81150457249202095252011-04-28T16:55:32.131+01:002011-04-28T16:55:32.131+01:00That's a very sensible suggestion and when I f...That's a very sensible suggestion and when I first bought this magazine a few months ago I did that, but always made the regular sizes and shortened them. I thought the petite sizes would be more my fit as in shorter and no problems with the waist, but it seems as if they're thinner too. Strangely enough from what I can work out the bust seems ok it's the skirt that's the problem. I'll measure everything again from now on as I know I haven't eaten that many Easter eggs! In fact I've only had half of one as shared it with my boyfriend!<br /><br />That sucks that you're still getting snow! Then again at least you're not having the tornadoes that I've seen Alabama are having. Really sad.<br /><br />Haven't seen the film yet as realised I promised my boyfriend I'd make lasagne and crumble for afters, half apple and half rhubarb as he doesn't like rhubarb and I love it! Mmmmmm!<br /><br />Thanks for your help. xMagpie Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358868096434596203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020871153616669660.post-31052299417043434282011-04-28T16:47:43.560+01:002011-04-28T16:47:43.560+01:00Awww Mimi.

If you have a good set of measurements, then measuring the pieces will let you know whether you are close to having things fit. And that particular dress would be a great one to do a FBA adjustment on, since it has a bust dart and waist dart already. If it makes you feel any better, there are snow flakes falling out my kitchen window. Big, fluffy ones. How was Breakfast at Tiffany's?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
