I'd recommend choosing a finished bust measurement that is smaller than your actual bust circumference by at least at least ½" [1.5 cm], or as much as 2½" [6.5 cm]. The model in the photo is wearing Colina with 1½" [4 cm] on negative ease.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572279906532221835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238706831493589413.post-72567304354461724662016-12-26T06:51:19.206-08:002016-12-26T06:51:19.206-08:00I love the pattern, and I plan to make it with Spa...I love the pattern, and I plan to make it with Sparrow.
