2. I HAVE A DRESS FORM


DRESS UPDATE
FIRST, THE QUESTION. If I DO make the eyelets, and I try it on and it doesn't close because it's too small, what should I do? Cry, break something?

I have borrowed a dressform. I have made the adjustments on it. Several wouldn't go. For example, I am smaller in the bust than it will go. I am longer in the waist in front and back and deeper in the underarm. So this dressform isn't exactly me. I have put the camecia on it with the dress over it. Just now, I laced up the sides(and let me tell you, I am never doing ladder lacing with ribbon strips on a side/back bodice EVER AGAIN). I laced up the sides and IT DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY. Now I realize it's 2 inches bigger than I am on top and shorter, but, but, but. what if I put it on me after making the new eyelets and find out it doesn't close and I need to ADD fabric. Then I will have done the eyelets for nothing. So back to my question. What should I do? Scream perhaps. I'm going to ask Pam for advice. She makes these dresses all the time. That's about it.
