mock up #3

[robinsnest]

I thought I'd take a break from all things vagina/baby focused and work on my jacket. Sometimes you have to know when your brain is at saturation point and step back, or at least I do.

So the sleevils progress.


too much width in my sleeve head. dart pinned out. I also need to rotate the fullness of the sleeve forward as I have it pinned too far back...I think?



but can I say how very pleased I am with the bodice fit?!

Anyway I have this lovely under arm wrinkle...BUT it allows me to LIFT my arm! which is amazingly comfortable...thinking about just living with it for the amazing arm lifting.


Anyway advice or feedback from the fitting gurus is always appreciated. (also wow wrinkled chemise is wrinkled)

Mock up looks pretty! Under arm wrinkles are period correct, just sayin!

This looks really great! You are right, the bodice fit is awesome.

On the fullness in the sleeve, I would try moving the fullness forward by taking one or two tucks right at the top of your shoulder.

Sometimes you just gotta say "Screw babies, I'm making a jacket instead!" =P

Looks good to me! And yes, love the fit on your stays.
