I made the Washi dress last summer but was too impatient to do an FBA, so it is in the donation bag. It is a wonderful pattern and was a pleasure to sew. Your explanation of the FBA is the best I've seen and I am anxious to FINALLY practice it.

And I agree, YES, it is so liberating to cut a smaller size and yet still fit the girls in there. :)<br /><br />Beautiful top! --CailaCailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736903295620672718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-25847601384526710162012-07-04T13:50:55.999-04:002012-07-04T13:50:55.999-04:00Lovely sorbetto top!

The FBA does add width and lenght, but you need that o go over the bust. So the paper pattern laid out flat will look longer and wider than the back piece. It should still be even when worn.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637498432307668019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-69885082019201179172012-06-03T13:09:04.748-04:002012-06-03T13:09:04.748-04:00Hi!

Your instructions have been the most helpful I have found. I have already made the adjustments to the front piece and that went fine, but now the back bodice piece arm holes and bottom hemline are all off. Did you have that issue and if so how did you fix it? I have only cut my tracing paper so far. I can understand horizontally slashing & spreading to get the top and bottom even again but the armhole is still totally off. Any advice is appreciated!<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637691666242762822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-49207028013804348382011-08-11T19:38:47.573-04:002011-08-11T19:38:47.573-04:00Thanks for reading, Brandy.

I like the fit and the top is wonderful.

I'm going to try a size 10 and do the FBA you show on here. I've not actually figured out how to do one yet. I am hoping this works. It will be the first top I make that fits. I have a blog but haven't updated lately. If this works- I'll add it! Thanks again!Darleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109957674967578105noreply@blogger.com
