why does nothing work? ever?

[robinsnest]

I'm following this tutorial...and the slits seem HUGE..in fact that gap everywhere. but now I think about it why don't all regency gowns gap massively? UGH. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and sell my damn sewing machine. Nothing I make works. Nothing I make fits. I used to think I was sort of, a little good at this.

I did a mock up of this dress (well 3, regency era has always been bad luck for me) and had the same problem. I did what others have surggested too, shorten the slits and make the front panel bigger. But I still gave, hopfefully I will pick it up again later. Good luck!
