My 7 major problems with this project are detailed on my blog.
In summary: fabric choice issues, serging error, plunging neckline.
What I like about this pattern: The shoulder pleats and fit of the upper bodice. I have broad shoulders and this works well for me. I also like the lined bodice and sleeves in place of facings or hems.
What I'd change: neckline - both shape and depth. More volume in the skirt. Views A&B have a pleated skirt feature that I think would look good in the suggested crepe or challis fabrics.
I like the shape of the dress, I had a problem with the neck line on my first blouse, the more I tried to fix it the worse it got lol!making the dickey is a good idea!

Great job on the dress. That fabric must have been very hard to sew with. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice dress, and if you are broadshouldered, a slight flare/volume in the skirt would be good. It's an unusual neckline, I like the solution.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress! I love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. The dickey is great!
