I'm on the fence about this dress. I like the fit but maybe not on me. Maybe this isn't my best style for my lumps, bumps & curves but overall I did a good job on the fit. The print of the fabric does camouflage a lot more than the solid color did.
I used a stretch twill fabric on this version and the fabric is a little heavier but overall a good match.

I decided to take in the hip area at the side seams an additional 5/8".

I did a sway back adjustment on the muslin and may still need an addition little more but overall I'm happy with it. I think I have uneven hips, maybe it's the way I'm standing too.

It's pretty, but if you don't enjoy wearing it, donate it. I've finally learned that! I think I like the orange one better because it does show those pretty design lines.
ReplyDeleteI have also lost weight, and it's hard losing a loved garment because it doesn't fit any more.
I plan on wearing the dress Sunday to Church, I'll decide after that, but more than likely I'll be donating it. I hear you on letting go a loved garment, I still have a few....why don't I make a version that fits??? who knows? Thanks for stopping by!
