alice dress pattern draft

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

Myu! A little while ago (a week?) someone offered help drafting patterns for Alice dresses... I meant to email, but never got around to measuring my torso length, or something. (Bad me! >_<)

Anyway, I'm in a crafty-curious-adventurous mood tonight, and I am attempting an Alice-y poofy-sleeve top... myu myu, girl-who-offered! Want to give me tips on the shape of the pieces?

I hate making tops. *shudders* Big boobs... so, I am forcing myself to learn them, and how to do sleeves and darts correctly. *nods*

a simple way is just to take a cap sleeve pattern shape and add four inches to the very middle (just a rectangle of fabric basically) then gather the shoulder end to fit the armhole and gather the elbow end to whatever size you want and sew on a strip of binding.
after you manage this you can alter the shape of the drafted piece to produce the results you have in mind.

I've got the bosem thing too. Isn't it evil?? Augh! Tring to make ANYTHING is just awful. I have yet to try a pattern that had markings for a 36D.
