Mine are ginormous and all the seams for things end up in wonky places too. What is it with pattern drafting for busts? If you were covering someone's a@$e you would draft for a 3-dimensional shape.

I realised that if I'm buying clothes online I tend to get skirts as they are more likely to fit then dresses with their too small top halves. Turning it into a skirt is a good plan though.

I sympathise with your dress issues-I've got tits from hell. <br /><br />It does look adorable in the photo, and that's a nice cardigan too. I don't know if you could remove the padding, but that might be worth having a dressmaker do.

It would indeed make a fabulous skirt. I can't abide a dress with padded cups, and I wonder if they are comfortable on anyone at all. I bought a vintage bathing suit with padded cups, which made ly bust feel and look all wonky. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-10185698661335077052017-06-07T14:03:10.046+01:002017-06-07T14:03:10.046+01:00Actually, you're spot in with the issue being ...Actually, you're spot in with the issue being a height one - I'm 5'5", so very average, and the 'waist' starts at the bottom of my ribcage.

I think turning it into a skirt is the best option, then you get to enjoy it. <br /><br />I have many Lindy Bop items and have fallen into a routine of having found a dress style that fits nicely, I go with that one, as even Andy pointed out, the design may be the same but the colour, pattern and how you dress it up,Melanie Folly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714445701351287394noreply@blogger.com
