M6076 A Shoulder Seam Princess
We are about to kick-off our Shoulder Seam Princess Sew-along. I think the princes seam is one of the most flattering styles you would find for most body types. You will find this style in wedding dress designs as well as evening and cocktail wear.
The princess style pattern is not the easiest pattern to adjust for your fitting needs, but it sure is a very rewarding project when you achieved success and all the seams are were they should be “In the center of the bust”.
I have completed my Shoulder Seam Blouse, and I’m very pleased with outcome.
I have also used shoulder pads to make my sloping shoulder a bit more even.
Here is a preview of the Shoulder seam princess fitting video
PS: The pants I’m wearing is M5239.

Patricia, it looks lovely and fits you very nicely. I like the print you have used. It looks quite silky.

Patricia
that looks great – I have just recently purchased some shoulder pads to pop into my jackets – will have to think about blouses too now – think we are all reliving the 1980′s again

The blouse looks wonderful. The fabric is gorgeous- well what can I say – reminds you of South Africa? The colour suits you. Love it.
Comment made on August 30th, 2010 at 8:16 amBeautiful Patricia. What type of fabric did you use. I like the shoulder pads too, did you make them or buy them? If you bought them, where did you find a 1/4″ shoulder pad?

I have never worn a Princess Seam top. All those curves look hard to fit and sew; but I know, with your help, I can do it.

Comment made on August 30th, 2010 at 8:43 pmTo answer a few questions:
I bought my shoulder pads at the Fabric Depot in Portland, but you could find them at Joann’s as well. The Shoulder Princess is really a very easy blouse to sew. It is the fitting that takes a bit longer. I used a Polyester silk. It was easy to wrok with, but it’s not very forgiving when I had to undo a seam, but steam pressing helped a bit to close the little holes that was created by my needle.
