Here's an exaggerated picture of the swayback.
As it turns out, I do not have a sway back. My back looks pretty normal. So I just have a bit of protruding butt. I suppose that a swayback adjustment would also work for this particular "problem." I haven't delved into what the adjustment actually is or looks like, but I'm keeping it in mind for next time.
The dress actually worked out fine. Sewliz over at PR suggested I take up some of the excess into the upper bodice and that and a good press seemed to do the trick. I need to take new pictures of me wearing it. The ones I have look like I'm wearing a mumu. Not cute at all. At least the poor pics have motivated me to get to working out again.

The adjustment is the same for a protruding butt (which is what I have) or a swayback. I think that the idea for elastic that Denise made was a great suggestion, but I'm glad that you did get the advice that you needed to fix your dress. I can't think of anything better than to make a garment, realize that something is wrong and then get advice that lets you fix the problem, instead of having a wadder. Isn't the internet great?
This is me too. I like to call it the "Runner's Butt Adjustment". Sounds better than protruding butt. :)
