In today's post, I'll show you how to calculate the finished circumference of the dress and how to estimate the amount of fabric you'll need to sew it.
Sure! I will share my measurements in my next post. (I am almost 6 feet tall though so they'll be longer in general.) The C Armpit measurement should be taken right next to the body. Mine was 5". And then I'm adding about 1 inch. (I think I suggested 1-2" in the tutorial.) I'm kind of paranoid about things being too tight or uncomfortable so I generally err on the side of more ease. I would hold your pattern up to your body to see if it feels too big. And this stuff does take some experimentation. I'll play around with it a bit to see what's comfortable to me. :)
It would be helpful to see a photo of your pattern pieces. I wonder if my c + g is too long.
