Progress Delay
Honey got to try the outfit on for size today.
I pinned the chest and tummy straps in place. They fit perfectly! Not too tight, not too much overlap.
Winning!
The new design is definately a winner! Fits much nicer, looks a hundred times nicer!!! Yay!
It even fits nicely around the neck.
But. . . its way too long. : (
The positive is that it is the easiest problem to fix.
I cut it to size right way out so I could alternate between cutting and fitting quite quickly, just taking small strips until it was the perfect length.
The problem I discovered when I turned it back inside out to sew it was that the seam has been cut as well and made a bit more work pinning it into the right position otherwise there would have been a chunk out of the curve.
Here's a close up of the revised line. You can see where the old stitching continues into oblivion, and where I have gone over the start of the new stitches. The little section where it dips in a bit at the end of the old stiching is where there was a chunk of the old seam that had to be folded in to create a smooth line.
Admittedly smoothing that section is probably unnecessary as all of these features are going to be well hidden once the costume is turned right way out again.
A final look at the now resized outfit before it gets turned right side out and gets finished off with a pretty skirt.
It fitted! - But I'll hold out on the photos of the final fit until the skirts attached.
