Fpc Wren Dress

I absolutely love this dress, but have had a nightmare trying to fit it, I did a toile of the top half and got it to fit okay-ish, needed a couple more adjustments. When I started to sew it in the good fabric it was a FAIL. I'm not sure if the fabric had stretched a bit or the style just didn't work for me. I have narrow shoulders, a big bust and a menopausal mid section (where has my waist gone?). Graded the pattern for my waist measurement, used the bigger cup size , so hoped all would be well.

Anyone made the Wren dress and had fitting difficulties, or is it just me?

Sorry it didn't come out the way you wanted it to Shelley, that's incredibly frustrating! Where are the fit issues? If you're comfortable to share a picture hopefully we can help.

I haven't made this one myself though!

I didn't finish sewing it up, I tried the top wrap on and there was just too much fabric on the cross over, I did stay stitch it but it just seemed far too big. I had used a viscose, I'm thinking of giving it another go and use some more stable cotton fabric, and try for a wearable toile.
