Hmm. If it really involves pushing them inward from the sides, you probably can't do it with the dress (now that I think about it) -- and it wouldn't be a period figure if you did. If you can get the cleavage by pressing them both toward the chest wall so that they spread out and meet in the middle, then the dress could do the same thing. But unless she's got a fair amount to move around, she won't look like the Sotterley brass! > The neckline is definitely low, in fact she is in danger falling out > (somebody else began the fitting process on this dress a year or two > ago so certain things, like the neckline, are already established and > can't be changed) Oh, that's awkward. The way you keep from falling out of this kind of dress is to position the breasts as high as they go before you determine the neckline height. Then they can't go any higher, and can't fall out even if they look like they're going to. If you're trying to keep them inside a neckline that is too low, you won't be able to position them high enough to plump by pressing on the bottom. I suspect this is part of your problem. Adding an extension to the neckline might allow you to do this, if it is less than an inch and you can match the grainlines. But if this much is already cut, you may be out of luck; there may be too many pieces already positioned for you to get the stretch and angles you need. (Normally the last thing I fit is the neckline/shoulders, because their placement depends on what you've done with the bust.) --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
