fail!

DANGIT. I thought I was being all crafty because I already had a copy of Simplicity 4479 (that Phantom of the Opera-esque pattern from a couple years ago) that I thought would work really well as a base for Yvaine's bodice. I just pulled it out, and it's the 14-20 size. With my corset, I need a 10. GRRR. Now the question is, will it be less hassle to buy one on ebay and wait for it to arrive (it's out of print) or to try to grade my current pattern down?

Man, now I'm really cranky. >:(

I'd pull it out and see if you can do a quick muslin - if that fails, buy it again. You might be able to cut the 14 small and make it a 12 - and then just take it in where you need to.

Ugh - that is frustrating though!

BTW, I'm really psyched about seeing you at DragonCon! Yay!

Man that sucks!
I went through my pattern stash real quick because I was certain I had that one but no luck. Once apon a time I was that small and I have patterns in that size... not so much anymore and I had gotten the bigger size.

While you wait, you can use that pattern and make me the dress. :D :D :D

If you know how pieces grade and are comfortable with the breakdowns, then I say just grade down. If you prefer not to mess with the math, then just wait for the new pattern! That is what I would do :)

looking now to see if I have it....
(while trying to not hate you for being a size 10 in patterns!!)

my database tells me I do have it. want me to ask B to dig it out and mail it to you?

Oh yes please, that would be lovely if it's not too much trouble for him!
