I just ordered a bunch of ITY in fabric.com's sale so now I know what I'm going to do with at least one piece of it! I love your fabric and now I wish I'd ordered that, too! You might be able to fix the armpit sag by changing the shoulder slope angle (pinch the fabric at your shoulder to see if that works). I have to do this alteration on a lot of patterns. You might need to then redraw the armhole to make sure it's big enough.

Is the elastic pulling and bothering you? If not, I'd leave it alone, it works. This design will give wrinkles around the armscye and to my eye are not a problem either. You can play with taking a deeper armscye scoop in the front but then there might be a bra display issue and that's not great. I didn't read any of the reviews on this pattern so this is the first time I've scrutinized it. I say you really have a winner: a sweet easy dress for summer.Mary Bethhttp://www.thestitchery.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-16473811270544264812012-06-23T05:12:05.698-08:002012-06-23T05:12:05.698-08:00I love this dress, and it looks great on you! Bea...I love this dress, and it looks great on you! Beautiful fabric, flattering design. I think maybe the fit issue under the arms is just excess fabric in the front under the arms. Maybe take a tuck in the underarm seam? I think your elastic idea was good, but has a problem in execution. Maybe your elastic is sewn in too tightly. That said, I would not have noticed these issues unless you brought them to my attention. This is a great dress, and a great dress on you.Beckster51noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-56275187381602026732012-06-22T23:23:16.939-08:002012-06-22T23:23:16.939-08:00Your dress looks lovely from the photos, man you h...Your dress looks lovely from the photos, man you have legs to die for. lisa penricenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-1959280365374921862012-06-22T17:37:42.657-08:002012-06-22T17:37:42.657-08:00You're right about it being a popular pattern....You're right about it being a popular pattern.
