Now it comfortably fits my shoulders etc. But the neckline was too big so I pinched out a bit in the front neckline and also took the center back seam in a good inch. I did make a bodice only muslin of this before starting, so I could check the fit in the bust and it seemed good. I tweaked the side seam from top to bottom to get a nice fit (which is why I always sew the whole front and whole back and then play with the side seam. I added 1" on the side seam of all the pieces and then I didn't need it at all in the top half of the dress and definitely needed it around the hips.
Starting with size 38, I added 1" to the length of the bodice, basted the skirt on and then moved it back up 1/2", so that means in the final analysis I added 1/2" to the bodice.
Which might seem surprising considering all the pieces. So why do I love this dress? It sewed together like a dream. It is the remainder from these crazy culottes which I actually like a lot and may need shortening? Also they have no pockets which is a drawback in design. No idea what the fiber is, presumably some cotton as it presses well. It looks slightly limp as this is not really a denim fabric, I would say it is a soft linen with delusions of denim. I have the fabric and everything! maybe later this summer - so thanks Pauline for the Burdas)īack to this one, here's a look at it on the dress form. By the way, on her blog that Vogue dress sewn with the ponte stripe is something I decided to recreate since her version is great. ( I think it was Pauline at a Bay Area Sewists meet up in fact I am positive as a couple of the issues are the French versions. And I should know as I just found the perfect blouse pattern in an old Burda mag that someone gave me a while ago. I guess if you do it often like anything else it gets easier but for me I find it baffling. Because then no tracing! Aargh that tracing is tough. Which in my opinion is the only way to go if you are just going to get one or two patterns.
Burda magazine june 2016 pdf#
This is from the most recent Burda magazine, although I bought the PDF pattern from their website. Something I usually know but have trouble putting into action. Yes it is kind of simple - but maybe the best things are simple.
