This pattern is really tight at the shoulders and bust so I made a size 11 instead of the usual 09 and lowered the bust darts by 1" and it's still a little bit small. Also, the pattern calls for a facing to finish the neckline but I simply used bias. I finally agreed to using the Heather Bailey mermaids fabric I had been hoarding since 2008 and I don't regret it! I like my top and have been wearing it a few times already :) See you!
Wow, it looks lovely, what a cute print!!

RépondreSupprimerI have a few Japanese pattern magazines, but haven't finished anything quite yet.
This is super lovely. I realized that I had never tried making darts like that. But it's so neat! Worth to try it huh?

RépondreSupprimerI have the gold version of this fabric and I've been too scared to use it because I wasn't sure what it would turn out like - but this is amazing! I'll have to start planning that dress now...
