Not that kind of fit. The kind where I make a horrible dress with too many seams, too much fitting and made of horrible 1 inch gingham. The only gingham that Hancock had was made of some kind of horrible plastic-y parachute fabric. It raveled like nothing I'd ever seen before. But I finished the accursed thing and this is what I learned.
I have a "high bust."
I have a "full bust."
I am short. (Actually, I kind of knew that already.)
I am short-waisted. Really short-waisted.
I have a broad back.
Now I understand why I wear so many separates and Empire waist tops. My natural waist is no where that makes sense. I have a really hard time finding RTW dresses that fit, unless they have an Empire waist, but those run a danger of looking vaguely maternity (which I am so over).
Now that I know what my fitting problems are, I am hoping that I can adjust my patterns to fit. I like simple styles, so it doesn't take me too much time to sew up a straight dress, or a wrap dress, or a skirt.
I made one dress over Christmas break that I just love. The fabric was some $3 a yard stuff that I picked up at Hancock, but it turned out lovely. Very flattering. Also, this was the first anything that I've made with a knit. I sewed it on my serger and actually learned how to use a twin needle. I'll post a picture soon.
