Ok, I posted this in the textile forum in gaia, but I also figured I should post it here too!

Anyways onto my problem. .. So I want to make a dress that has sort of a corset look but not one. . if you know what I mean. . Anyways I don't know how I would draw up a pattern and sew this, it is confuzing me very much @.@

my craptastic drawing:


I also found a dress similiar to how I want my upper portion to turn out(found on Craftster.org, dress made by Vivifromage [her stuff is awsome!])

See, that dress is just one example of why I would be perfectly happy making ALL of my own clothing from now on!

I wish I could help you, but the only advice I can give is to just go out and find patterns of anything that has the faux corset with it. I've noticed a lot of Wal-Mart's patterns are very modern, and I've even seen at least something close to what you're needing. Of course, the patterns are really all wal-Mart has to offer as far as that goes. Their fabric selection, however...

I would love to see the finished project, too! biggrin
