The fabric is a cotton-elastane bought from Gardams in Toowoomba. I think it will be very comfortable to wear.
My next project is Vogue 8379. My biggest decision is which fabric in my stash should I use for this dress. I have cut out the tissue and my main fitting concern was to check the length of the bodice. The waist mark lands pretty much on my natural waist so I am going to leave the pattern as it is. I do have a vague concern that it may feel high on the waist, but not because it is short in the bodice, but because lately most things I wear do not land on the natural waist but below it. Anyway I will try one first before I start fiddling with the pattern.
Hope everyone else had a lovely Mother's Day and that your sewing is going well!
Nice shirt! I don't see any swayback issues at all. It looks great and fits exceptionally well.
ReplyDeleteLovely shirt. Here in Sydney (typing this with cold fingers), I've hit the jumpers!! Vogue 8379 looks great. Looking forward to seeing the finished dress - Cat1
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blouse. I think the fit is great. I know what you mean about the feel of a garment hitting you at the natural waistline rather than an inch or so below. I just made a dress that hits me there and it feels odd--but I'm hoping time will make that less of an issue. Good luck with the new dress!
ReplyDeletePretty and cool! Love the fabric!
