Photos of Surcotte





I'm not happy with it.
It lists to the right while wearing, due to some mistake I made sewing the shoulder seams. The side openings are too low, due to my adding 2" to pattern thinking myself long-waisted. The hips are too snug, due to cutting it too small.
The fillet is okay, the barbette is okay, but the veil is too stiff(linen) and white. It looks like a nun's whimple.

Hi I'd love to talk to you about the construction of this dress.
In particular the sleeves, I'm having trouble with the length of the sholder, the sleeve hangs over the arm and I want to unpick and bring it up by cutting into the shoulder part of the dress then restitch. I'd like to know what you did with this part.
Would you be kind enough to contact me on mickey.coleman@gmail.com
Thanks.
