Weight the front hem? Just like the Queen!  :)

they say "...because the bodice is very loose at the waist, it can tend to ride back on the shoulders a little on some people when the arms move forward, which causes the front waistline and the hem to go up."


Yes, that what I said - loose fitting dress and models standing badly!

If they (you) adjust the measurments to actually fit properly around the waist and with FBA if necessary, the chances are it will hang straight.   It's really odd though that they use such a badly fitting / badly worn garment as a main illustration for the design. :S

I agree Brenda, and their response, admitting that the pattern is basically ill fitting, and that they’re looking for some sort of work around, certainly doesn’t inspire me to buy it!
