Final Thoughts that I didn't get to share:
I love how this dress turned out overall! I didn't end up using the foam bust cups as I had originally planned, but I think I will need to insert them after-the-fact. The final fitting ended up having a flat spot at the bottom of the bust. I'm not sure if this is due to my construction, or perhaps the bust size that I went with, but I think it can be fixed by adding the foam cups in. Overall I'm not 100% pleased with how the bust cups ended up fitting, but either way I love this dress and will be wearing it as soon as possible. Fingers crossed that adding the foam cups will fix the fit issue though to take it from wearable to perfection! This was a multiple week process for me and slimming this video down to 30 minutes was already a struggle without adding my final thoughts haha so I hope this will suffice. Thanks so much for watching & I hope you enjoyed coming along on this journey with me! Cheers to trying new things and getting better at sewing together!
