Vogue 8724 Custom Fit Cups- for Megan
I made Vogue 8724 for my daughter Megan. Whom I usually have to do a FBA for. I used this pattern with the D cup and only a minor pattern adjustment to the neckline that I do to all of Megan's patterns. She always has gaps at the neckline. I use the french curve to mark the neckline then foldover a 1/4". I use to just fold in a little pleat in the pattern but this works much better and lies smoothly. This dress went together quickly and fit her perfectly. This will become a TNT for Megan. She loves this style and often buys this style dress. I had a bunch of fabric left so made this matching romper for Sophie June. I couldn't find a pattern that was what I wanted so I just took a vintage romper pattern and used the general shape and changed it at the top. The picture of Megan in the dress are before I hemmed it and finished the neckline. I used my coverstitch machine to hem it. I took two inches out of the length but it was still long. Mr. Finnegan wanted in on the photo shoot. He's six monthes old this coming week. He's a really playful fun kitten.

gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty dress. Truly. The skirt in your last post is totally cute, too.
ReplyDeletehmmmm.... do you think I need that little tuck in mine, too?
ReplyDeleteoh... and this post is kinda lame without any pictures of Sophie.... I guess I'll let it slide since you have Tiny in there.
ReplyDeleteThis is STUNNING!!!! I've NEVER seen this pattern and now I have to have it lol.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress!! I have this one on my list for the next Vogue sale. I always get that little gap in the neckline, too. Thanks for sharing your method for fixing it. I usually just pinch out the little wedge, but this way looks cleaner.
ReplyDeleteI love the custom fit variable cup size patterns. Lovely fabric and finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI have several patterns with separate cup sizes, but I don't know how to pick the main body size. My measurements do all line up in one column, but I'm a DD, so I usually go by the high bust and do a FBA (or cheat and grade down from the shoulders), which adds the width I need to the waist too. What would you recommend? Thanks!
