Fitting yourself for a Four Panel Supportive Dress
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:01 pm
Hi!
I've been playing around with wordpress as an alternate to hand jamming html for my webpage. I'm not very technical, so I've found it to be a FAR superior method to content creation. I want to spend more time writing and less time coding.
I've moved over almost all of the content, although the old site is still up. Now sure what I'll do about domain names yet.

Now that it's up and running, I've taken a little time to write up some articles I've had kicking around for a while.
Patterning Yourself for a Gothic Fitted Dress
and
Drafting by Measurement
The two are meant to go together. While I *have* managed to do some remote patterns for people halfway across the globe, with something that worked only with measurements, I really consider that just a starting point. Once you have a measured draft to start with, fitting it closely on your own body isn't as difficult as it might seem. Time consuming, yes. But you'd have to do that with anything that wasn't fitted right on you, if you wanted a supportive garment.
I just put it up, so if you see errors, missing information, or have suggestions, please let me know! I always know what I mean, but sometimes I forget to convey an important point in writing.

I'll probably run them both in tandem for a while, and have mathildegirlgenius point to bymymeasure for a while.
