My dress is cursed
It's the only logical explanation...that or I've lost all ability to actually sew anything, we won't rule that out either.
I finally picked up the dress of evil today again, last time I thought I had the sleeves just right...no way. They're not horrible, but they're too small across the back, and the left one has a weird pleat at the top, and the straps are set too wide and keep sliding down my shoulders. ...*headdesk* I'm not sure I care enough, maybe a nice big fichu? I'm contemplating putting a gusset under the arm, I have no idea if it's period, but it would be more comfortable.
I did realize that a lot of my fitting issues would resolve if I take an inch out of each front side, so I'm going to do that when shortening it.
ALSO in the process of getting into it for a fitting I slashed myself nicely along the bicep, nice line of blood. *facepalm* WHY do I like this hobby again?!?
