We did something to make...Thanks for the comments. We did something to make the stress lines disappear.... added more fabric to the front side or something like that.... Thanks for the tip about boning. Since Jessica is small, and since the dress does have shoulders, we were previously told that the dress did not need boning. Wish we would have put boning in anyway, but at this point it's now too late. The dress is coming along. Jessica will update soon, I hope.

She had recommended boning on the sides (the dress was eventually created in a red silk) and needed the added support at the side especially with a back closure. From other sites I have read on period costuming with the same type of princess seamed bodices, boning was also the solution, and it seems to come in much more "friendly" configurations these days. Hope this might help. <BR/><BR/>What a <I>beautiful</I> job you are doing on that dress, and YES! I love Walmart's $1/yd fabrics. It has kept our kids in playclothes for the last five years. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15615926.post-1137547105841220562006-01-17T19:18:00.000-06:002006-01-17T19:18:00.000-06:00You appear to be making great progress.
