The second muslin was made in a fabric with more drape than the first muslin,shows a little tweaking is needed in the bust area and for the first time ever,no under arm gaping.
My pattern adjustments were a
FBA and reduction of 1 inch in the shoulder area between the neck and sleeve shown here.
Finally the finished product,a dress which doesn't gape at the neck,bust or arm hole. I wore it to work today. This fabric was given to me by my friend
Ebony .What a joy it is to have sewing friends.
Concerning muslin making,I am forever changed. I will take the time to make them. The time I invested in sewing 2
muslins was made up for,when I zipped through the final product. It's like a pattern/fabric audition to see which one will be the star of the show.

The dress came out lovely and Congrat's on your first muslin.
What a beautiful dress! And the fit is PERFECT! Nice job! I wish I had started with a muslin on my most recent dress - I ended up having to make a lot of awkward adjustments on the fly and the final result still leaves a bit to be desired...
Congratulations! I am a huge fan of making muslins. And now you have a perfect fitting dress, and you can make a top out of the same pattern. Your dress fits you perfectly!
Great dress. I am working on my first muslin and find that it is very helpful in making adjustment and saving the fashion fabric.
Congratulations on conquering the GAP! You are such a GREAT sewist. I love your EBBYJ dress - you know I name everything (lol). I'm working on some EBBYJ capri pants right now myself. You are going to have to show me the adjustment you made at the shoulder as I couldn't see it that good in the picture. Is that a fold at the shoulder in the middle of the seam? Call me
Congrats. Nice work. Dress looks totally nice on your BTW. Love your blog..... :)
I just recognized your dress, it's like the one we liked from the Chadwick catalog!
Great dress and so lovely on!
Great job. Making a muslin can be a time consuming process with a big pay off in the end
Congratualtions! Your dress turn out great. Making muslins can save you a whole lot of frustration.
