All muslins look great on my dressform.
+ + +
I have no shame with posting poor photos of myself with no makeup on and unflattering hair for the sake of fitting a coat.
This is my third muslin for the Gertie coat. I looked at the flat pattern measurements and decided to cut a size 8, since the last two muslins looked way too baggy.
Adjustments:
+ cut a standard size 8
+ lowered the bust dart by half an inch
I totally messed up the back collar. I think I have to change the back dart since there was way too much fabric by the upper back, and I just had to pinch it out. Has anyone had this issue with the Gertie coat?
I think it looks better compared to the other two. The underarm poofiness is totally gone, and there’s still plenty of ease for me to move my arms with a sweater underneath it.
What do you guys think?
I definitely think this is a big improvement from the last, especially with the underarm. I’m not a part of Gertie’s sew along so I’m not too familiar with the pattern, design, and such. But my recommendation is to keep trucking along. You’re doing great!
