I have found that you can use your regular size and then pick the bust size based on the cup size recommendation. I think they allow for way too much ease on the Simplicity patterns. check the finished measurements and then use one that is finished measure about 1" bigger than you bust measurement. hope this works out as it will be really pretty in those fabrics. you look great in red.Beth (SunnyGal Studio)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-87096723971310462112011-12-15T09:30:25.447-05:002011-12-15T09:30:25.447-05:00There is no way you need a 14.

A 14 sounds waaaaay too big; I know I wouldn't cut a 14 and we're similar in size. I do think that once you're past the muslin that you are going to have one amazing dress - those fabrics are beautiful!Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-13452679812897402602011-12-15T04:15:37.995-05:002011-12-15T04:15:37.995-05:00A size 14 sounded way to big from the start, and y...A size 14 sounded way to big from the start, and your muslin bears that out. It looks like a tent! It is a pretty style though.
