Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Well I finished putting it together and it was a bit too big. I realized the sloper I used is semi fitted and would be better suited to making blouses. Oh well! Now I am trying to decide how much ease I should include in my next sloper to make it very fitted. I'm thinking maybe none.....I...- MarieAnne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Yeah, it's not really a big deal. I will cut, the overhang of the bra and then sew through my wing and bra in the side seam. I'm sure it will work out. I'm just upset that after so much careful planning and three pattern drafts (flat drafting with a sloper), something didn't add up. Next...- MarieAnne

Eyebrow Grooming
I trim mine using one of those mini electric clippers. And then I thread the upper lid, in between my eyebrows and a little above the brow. I get lots of little fine hairs around my eyebrows which are very hard to tweeze because there are so many and they are so fine. Makeup can cling to them... -
Show us your hair do's....
Hestia - I think we have the same type of hair. When I'm in a rush and my hair is freshly washed, I just pull back the sides and then let it air dry. Sometimes I twist the sides and push them up to add a bit of volume and pin with bobby pins. Sometimes I just use combs. -

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Ooo,I looked up the VogueS4300 and it's beautiful. What I gathered from scrutinizing the WT pictures is that although the bra is attached to the side seam, the wing is only attached to the front bodice. I thought about it all day long yesterday, I even dreamed about it the day before....Right...- MarieAnne

Show us your hair do's....
Chanteuse - I think it looks terrific! It might be tougher for a day to day look because of all the work. If I had the patience to style my hair like that everyday I certainly would. Did your stylist take very long to do it? -
