Hello, I post rarely, but I do have a question, and due to the heat, or just
natural issues with geometry, I'm having a problem with Margot Anderson's
doublet pattern.
I've sewn up a number of them, the sewing goes great, and they used to fit
before I put on some weight.
The doublet still fits through the body, but....they no longer fit at the
collarbone, which is an odd spot for a fitting issue. I can't fasten the
buttons, even after moving them onto the edge binding, so that some of the
smock shows behind the buttonhole.
Does anyone have a suggestion for where to add the extra material, or how to
add it, so that it isn't obvious? Considering the amount of work I've put
into them (average 20 handmade, pearled, buttons, and buttonholes on each
one; plus, embroidery inspired by Bjarne) I'd rather not give them to the
Barony's loaner garb.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Robert of Stonemarche
