I bought this Summer dress pattern this past Winter. A major fabric store had their patterns on sale for $1.99. I knew this one was going to challenge me because it called for a hidden zipper and it is fully lined. I have never done either. I am also a novice, so I shook a little when I cut into my expensive fabric (which I used a 50% off coupon for, so it wasn't as expensive as it could of been)
As always Gigi is a gr8 help & always seems to wear things so much better than me, but I have a head and limbs, so I there.
Biggest Problem: I cannot seem to trust pattern sizes. Even though my measurements tell me I'm a particular size on their pattern, it is too big. The three dresses I have made so far have produced the same results (regardless of the pattern maker). These miscalculations result in me making alterations, getting frustrated, and prolonging my results. On the positive side, I learned new techniques, changed the bodice to reflect my personal taste and made it my own design.
Taaadaaa!
Sorry the pix quality is not gr8. I will keep the photographer anonymous, so as not to hurt feelings.
