What do I do now???<\/p>\n<p>Tried it on with corset, pinned bodice shut. But I&#8217;m getting all kinds of extra fabric in the front and a weird bit sticking up at the center back around the neck. I don&#8217;t understand. The mockup fit beautifully, and the pattern is made from that exactly. I followed it accurately, used the same half-inch seams, and while I expected a little creep from the thickness of the fabric and interlining, I was careful in my pinning and sewing, plus I used the walking foot to combat creep as much as possible. Besides, fabric creep wouldn&#8217;t give me *this* much extra fabric. I&#8217;m talking an inch and a half extra in the front, plus a giant funky dart&#8217;s worth of extra at the center-back neck area. Why?<\/p>\n<p>First I tried pinning just the &#8220;normal&#8221; half-inch seam allowance. That was too big. Then I pinned as close as it fit, right to the body. Note the white line &#8212; that&#8217;s my body line where I pinned the second time. Also drew my body line in on the back too, though that&#8217;s even harder to show, what with my holding the camera and all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1987\" style=\"width: 206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/bodice-extrafabback.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1987\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1987 size-full\" title=\"Weird fit, back\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/bodice-extrafabback.jpg?resize=196%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Weird fit, back\" width=\"196\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/bodice-extrafabback.jpg?w=196&amp;ssl=1 196w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/bodice-extrafabback.jpg?resize=147%2C300&amp;ssl=1 147w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Weird fit, back<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I tried re-wearing it, setting the bodice on my shoulders\/body in different ways, and pinning it differently to see if I was just wearing it wrong. All that changed was where there was way too much fabric &#8212; in the front or the back, and the neck dart thing mostly stayed the same, although the precise shape\/size was hard to determine on myself, of course. WTF???<\/p>\n<p>The corset is the same shape as mark1, just has tabs. I&#8217;m the same shape (and if anything, I weigh more than a month ago when we made this pattern, thanks to all the holiday cookies). What the hell is going on here??? I am baffled.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I could just take in the front and ignore the funky neck happening. Ultimately, that will be covered by a head-on-a-plate ruff.
