#screaming 20s

[luckyblackcatxiii]

Made a lil' something for my VtM crew (going on 4+ years now) after finding a holiday card that felt perfect for our group. And I couldn't just gift them it, I had to replicate it with our boys. It may be a little late for Christmas, but the holidays include New Years as well, and given their white tie attire, it seems fitting!

Manuel knew they were doing a photoshoot, but didn't realize just what the greeting was going to be until it was too late...

Everyone who were in their 20s during the 2020s deserves compensation.

1927 Bandeau: Fitting time!

Behold, we have reached the fun part!

I ran a couple lines of basting down the middle of the fabric and pinned it around myself via the age old method of STABBING MYSELF WITH THE $&%*# PINS 80 THOUSAND TIMES

ahem

Anyway, as soon as I had it on, the reason for gathering the center became clear. As it turns out, fabric is flat. As per the raison d’etre of this project, boobs are not. That leads to extra fabric at the top and bottom of the bust. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so if you curve the line, you take up extra length and the edge lies flatter.

I am very bad at geometry, so this made no sense to me until I saw it in practice and then it was obvious. I’m starting to suspect that many intimidating Sewing Things are just nudging fabric until it looks sort of person shaped and then stabbing it until it stays there.

After that revelation, I got the top edge looking good but still had some floppiness around the bottom. I figured out two possibilities:

Pull up the gathers and make the bottom edge a deeper curve

Pinch out darts to remove extra fabric.

I tried both and went for option 2 because it made a flatter silhouette. One of the example videos I watched put darts directly below the boobs, but that’s going to give a more cup-like shape, so I put them on the side. It pulls a little bit oddly, probably because I winged it with the size and shape, but it’s under the arm so I don’t really care. This isn’t a garment I’ll be wearing under tight clothes anyway.

Pictures to follow in reblog. And after that: CLOSURE
