I'm trying to not screw up the good fabric, so mockups are a necessity. I think it helps, though, that so far I can get away with things made of rectangles (monpei, shift) or just front and back making a sandwich (tank top). I'm small-busted so that top didn't even need darts (and its twin will become the "camisole" I'd wanted), though somewhere down the line I'm sure I'll want to make something that is fitted.

It makes for pleasant evenings, a true perk.
