For example, it might be ok on a date, when you want to look very sexy, but would be impractical for milking the goat, lol. Depending on just *how* busty, it might work with a pencil skirt, for office work. Maybe.

Not a chance! But some of the later Singer's did have a button-hole attachment that works quite well. Yes - that's what I learned to machine sew on and what I still have to sew on when I go to Ontario and have to help my sister with projects! Circa 1950!)Carla Burke wrote:IS there even a zigzag attachment made, for that machine???

My concern is that R Ranson appears to be enough of an outlier that a dressmaker's dummy wouldn't adjust to her size. Also, they're mega expensive, any time I've seen them.The other thing that might help is a good dressmakers dummy that you can set up your size on, and fit your patterns and fabric to that?
That makes me feel even more that you might want to try googling "gusset". In a gusset, you're fitting in a piece of material rather than folding fabric out as you do with a dart. By adding a gusset, you won't be changing the drape of the fabric as much, because you aren't changing the angle of the fabric the same way you do when adding a large dart.I watched some youtube and I can see the basics. but... my underbust to overbust measurements are 10 inches different. how big do I make this dart?

Years ago I had a dressmaking business so take for granted 50 years of sewing but, I am learning how to spin and boy is it frustrating at times. (like most of the time) Dont give up, just keep practicing and I second the 'cut up old sheets and stuff' for pattern sizing. The other thing that might help is a good dressmakers dummy that you can set up your size on, and fit your patterns and fabric to that?
Best of luck, and bon courage as they say here!

I'd love to see you experiment with darts which go from the waist up towards the breast in conjunction with the side ones. With the huge difference in size between your bust line and under breast rib measurement, I think you would find it would help decrease the extra fabric below your breast that may be contributing to the "sack-like" feeling. Can you picture how "pleats" work to give people extra room for their hips below the waist in the down-ward direction, and consider the same concept but going up from the waist towards the breast?It fits me about as well as commercial clothing. Basically, I feel like I'm wearing a sack.
