It will help you get a better handle on the fabric and make it a bit easier to sew. My advice, if you choose to sew this up, is to trim out the centre of the dart before sewing to give you 5/8 inch seam allowance (after pin-fitting them, though, you don’t want to trim and then not have them fit correctly) and then grade the seams to a 1/4 inch again after sewing. The darts aren’t perfect and do angle in a bit at centre front. Curved bust darts (is there a different word for this type?) like this can be a bit difficult, especially with a large bust. Instead of redrafting them on paper, I sewed up the back seam and side seams and pinned the pattern to get the darts in the right place. This worked really well, but made the darts on the nightgown a bit off. That being said, I’m still a bit outside their range.īased on my measurements, I graded size 52 up by 2 inches in both patterns using the slash and spread method effectively making a size 54. The sizing is a bit more generous than other companies and goes up to a 48 inch bust and 50 inch hip. The January 2017 intimates collection is one of my favourites and I am slowly going to make my way through it. While their plus-sized patterns can often be pretty shapeless and uninteresting, there are occasionally some great collections and actually in the past year there have been more wins than duds for me.
