After washing the skirt of my light blue dress I noticed a discolored stripe in the center. The fabric fold was not only dirty but apperently discolored as well. So I had to take apart the skirt and replace the front part.
And even thougth I made two mock-ups the bodice. The final bodice didn't fit properly. The shape of the cups don't work on my breast. I don't know if it's a flaw in the pattern or just me being odd shaped. The other version of this dress I made early with the other bodice of this pattern I had the same problems. So I am not using this pattern anymore.
I have tried several solutions and nothing worked. I don't know how to fix it. So I guess I'll have to sleep on it a night (or two). Not too much nights though the deadline is closing in...

Sorry to hear about all the problems! I was looking forward to seeing pictures of you in the finished dress--the color is gorgeous!
Hi Cathy, I haven't given up on the dress (completly). But I have given up on wearing it to my sisters wedding. Which gives me more time and patience to find a solution. I have bought a vintage fifties pattern on Etsy and I really hope that it will work on me....
There are very few sewing projects that i have given up on and I do not intend to let this be one of them as I like the color and the fabric a lot!
