Pet Peeve #452

When I’ve worked for hours on a dress, fumbling with the unwieldy fabric and battling with eyestrain, only to try it on the doll and realize that, once again, the shoulders and sides of the dress JUST DON’T FIT.

Laurel may have to wear a non-red dress for Christmas, because while she really needs some red in her wardrobe, at this point, I’m too bitter to give it another shot.

Did you measure twice?

Can you take a picture and post it? Maybe someone can give a suggestion on what to do to make it fit, or how to avoid the mistake again.

*hugs* Sewing mishaps at the end of the process suck butt.

I know the problem, actually--pure laziness. I was using one of the other slim-body dolls to model it for her, because her hair is unwieldy when it's down and tough to re-curl after I've put it up. But all the slim girls are slightly differently.

It wasn't qutie the end of the process, fortunately. I think I can rip a couple of seams without having to start over completely. But we shall see!

Love the icon. :) Very appropriate. :)

*grin* My buddy acrossthelake saw the image's iconly potential. (We can only hope she doesn't mind my stealing it.)

Bah, html.
