Episode 89—Detours on the Way to a Dress

Learning how to alter and adapt clothing patterns to fit your unique body shape is a process. Sometimes that process goes smoothly and sometimes it involves a bit of trial and error. Join Janet on a journey of figuring out what those drag lines and wrinkles mean—and how to fix them—as she attempts to make herself a new dress. Spoiler alert: After several muslins, she's close, but the dress is still waiting to be made.
