Hi everyone,
I have drafted my first pattern for a shift dress with a bust dart on the front, back darts on the back. Also the first time I have used a pattern to be matched - very wide bands. I took ages to cut the back and front perfectly, sewn the shoulders with a combined facing then came to do the sides and...of course the bust dart causes the stripes below the bust to not line up, dur.
Thinking...could I cut the back piece and sew it back together taking out the 5cm so the front and back now match?
Or sew a horizontal fold all the way along the back to the same effect
Will it look weird?
(I will unpick my back darts first and redo them)
Any suggestions?
Will post a photo tomorrow if what I say is not clear
