I think its a sixties pattern, I especially liked the pockets in the front seam. I do have a thing for pockets, even though they are not really me. I used the purple satin I bought during the Summer.
I guess you could say the dress is probably too small. Initally I put the pockets in , then removed them. But it still does not fit me ..
Its creased at the waist, etc. etc. More walking clearly needed.
The dress is no more, as I have already taken out the zip to re-use. I suppose its all part of the learning curve. I ask myself, why I refused to make a muslin?
Decided to make the Danielle instead, will post pics when done. Hope it wont be another FAIL.
You are brave to use satin at all! I am pretty conservative in my fabric choices because I want to limit the chances of a fail. However, I just set a cotton tunic in the back of my closet because it turned out so small I couldn't zip it! I'll be walking more also. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes I think i will never touch satin again. It shows all the lumps and bumps he he.
