My greatest fitting challenge is similar to some of those mentioned already - a pear shaped figure with narrow, sloping shoulders. My bust and waist are about 2 sizes smaller than my hips, so fitting shirts, pants, skirts, and dresses is interesting. My dress form is my best friend and I highly recommend anyone with fitting dilemmas to buy or make a dress form. I have been sewing since I was about 8 years old and have learned alot from the Threads magazine and website. Thanks for all the input!

I am making 4 bridesmaids and 2 maid of honor dresses for my daughter's wedding in October. The girls live all over from Oklahome to Florida to NJ. I am in PA. So that means 6 muslins for fitting and then 6 fully lined dresses. I also work full time and we are renovating our home and landscape. I hope I can sleep this summer sometime!
