what if you dont have a shift dress to cut around ?

[emilyhale27]

What about if your busty and the front of the dress needs to be bigger than the back?

@emily4marykay I don't mean to split hairs, it's a good video, and so that bit just bothered me. I'm also English and it's very easy to say it correctly.

@abiolamay shes english it doesnt always come out with the accent

@DaintyDoll95 I wish they'd respond to this, because I'd like to know too.

This video tutorial is 'brought' to you, not 'bought' to you.

@DaintyDoll95 Use an t-shirt or a top, continue it as long as you want it to be + hem allowence. Remember to draw it evenly wider from waist down. You´ll need room for your hips!

[Suvikki74]

@emilyhale27 Draw and cut a back piece of a single fabric and then add more seam allowence to the sides as much as your busom needs for front piece and discrease it until it´s same wide as back piece, draw and cut.also of a single fabric (remember seam allowence) . Then sew as showed. Should come out ok.
