Using my Sure-Fit Designs since I didn't have a pattern I liked in my stash. I wanted a sheath style dress with darts in the front and back, back zipper, short sleeves & knee length. Nothing too complicated except to fit a rectangle piece of fabric on my lumpy, bumpy, curvy self!
The upper chest and bust are a good circumference, the waist is ok too but look at all that extra fabric at the hips. Wow, where it all that go? The bust darts are a little high but that's an easy fix.

The back isn't bad, definitely workable.

After removing over 3" of fabric at the hip side seams, it's starting to look a little better.

This is a crazy photo shot but it helps me to see if the side seams are hanging straight.

Still a little pulling at the lower part of the dart. I'm thinking that curving the dart will help with that.
Also I pinched out the excess fabric at the armhole.

I have a piece of purple Faille fabric that I think will make a nice dress for the next version.
Until next time......................
