Ah, how lovely it is to have a finished, fitting toile.

My client is afraid the toile won't fit her, but as it's in the mail today, we will wait a couple days to see. The good thing about a toile is that it's not the finished garment. Its sole purpose in life is to be fitted to the client, tailored, let out, stitched here, ripped apart there, and to become the pattern for the final piece. Don't worry, Client, this is all part of the process!
