Now that I had my book for fashion drawing, I decided to skip alterations and draw the upper part according to my mom`s measurements. Instead of princess seams I made darts.

Simplicity 1803 - changed sleeves to shorter cap sleeves , overlocked (serged) the cap sleeve and then did bias binding for the rest of the armscye - just topstitched on the hem and lower armsyce. I wanted to avoid topstitching on the top of the sleeve.

Pattern Sizing: AA (10-18), BB (20W-28W)
As this was my first amazing fit pattern, I heeded directions to disregard RTW sizing and measure myself first. Instead of my usual 10 bust and 12 waist and hip, my measurements dictated that I was a 14 bust with a 16 waist and hip. I didn't believe it, so traced off those parts of the pattern which didn't have the smaller sizes fully inside the larger ones, instead of trimming the pattern as usual. Boy, am I glad I did. The first muslin swam on me and the bust point was about 5cm (2") too low. (see photo above)
After pinning in the side seams, I determined that my usual sizing was quite large enough, with the added insurance of 9cm (3½") wearing ease and 2.5cm (1") side seams. I then pulled the whole thing undone and recut the lot, 2 sizes smaller.
When cutting out, watch out for side front (A-2) - it has a size 8 marked on it as well
Once I got the pattern sizing right, the fit was perfect without any alteration although the bust point was still a little low. In my opinion 9cm of wearing ease in the bust is too much for a sleeveless dress.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, the only difficulty was working out which shape to use. It seemed counter-intuitive to use a B cup with a curvy fit. However the cup sizes refer to the front pattern pieces and the fit sizing only applies to the back pieces. Once I got my head around it, I did as I was told and used the B cup front with the curvy back. Incidentally, the centre front panel is the only one that is common to all shapes.
There are plenty of tips for fitting, but I didn't need them, I mainly looked at the diagrams.
A great pattern that offers room for bump growth. Beware, the pattern has A LOT of ease. Blogged about here.
