Bad sleeve! I hate it when they do that :)

I think I left about half an inch leeway on each side. I actually worry more about thin days where the stomacher doesn't fit! I laced the dress too tight once. Oops. The fun thing though, is because the dress is just fabric, you can lace the dress tighter or looser.

I didn't bone next to the eyelets. Instead, I used a heavy linen canvas. Worked beautifully :)
