Costuming Rant (AKA Why Simplicity Patterns Suck)

[fa11ing_away]

Waaah! My doublet! So many things wrong!

· I need to completely redo the armhole and sleeves. The epaulettes are totally the wrong shape and are too far back. Damn you Simplicity pattern! I thought the shoulder seam was suppose to go on the shoulder. Grrr, faulty assumptions. My bad

This may just be the tv show I've been watching talking, but clearly what you need is a ballistics gel replica of your torso to model things on...

Mme suggests that Simplicity should be charged under the Trade Practices Act for deceptive advertising.

And your Halloween costume rocked totally!

Simplicity patterns suck! The never ever fit properly and are just a pain to work with.

When you are next in Melbourne, we will have a sewing day. I'll help you get a body block together and vice versa.

And in terms of getting you in and out of your garb, I'm always willing to lend a hand ;)
