The sew along is due to kick-off next week and quite looking forward to it. I had so much fun sewing along with my Lady Grey, not to mention everything I learned. With the crepe sew along I'm particulary looking forward to learn how to fit a bodice properly (on dresses I've done so far they are always a bit too big) and on using organza to stay a neckline.
So this week I'll be tracing off the pattern. I got used to doing this and now cringe at the thought of cutting the pattern directly. To be honest it's annoying sometimes and I might need to learn how to "let go" of a uncut pattern.
Size chart and my own measurements don't match quite well:
Bust: 32 incWaist: 27 inc
Hip 34.5 inc
My waist is the culprit ;)
Because this is a dress I think size 0 will be the best option. What do you think?
No doubt the size 0! You just have to leave a little slack in the waist area and go! I hope you enjoy it much sewing.
ReplyDeleteYup, I think you're a 0. The bust and hips will be about right, leaving only one area to alter.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm mad about your fabric choices - this is going to look so great!
I'm looking forward to the sew-along too, can't wait to see your zebra version! Jane x
