Nearly finished first version of the dress pattern. Really like how it turned out. Love the fabric.
The dress form has a shorter upper body than me, that's why it looks a bit too long.

Pattern Testing Call Skirt “Bella”

I’m looking for Pattern Tester, who want to test my Skirt Pattern “Bella”.

This sewing pattern is a skirt perfect for every occasion, with seven rounded godets, a straight waistband, which ends in a button closure and a seam zipper in the center back. The patterns allows you to make a straight skirt, with godets or without, as well. It is drafted for medium weight, woven fabrics (preferably Chambray, Panama, Velvet, Linen, light Cool Wool or Trevira etc.), but also Knitware with max. 5% Elastane (Scuba, Jersey etc.).

What am I looking for?:

• Sewist with experience. Pattern adjustments are not a problem for you. You know the most common finishing techniques.
• Constructive criticism. Feedback, possible suggestions for improvement are very welcome. Good communication is the important to me. And with good communication i mean, that you should post in the group server on Discord / FB-Group or write an E-Mail regularly.
• Sewers in sizes 2 – 32 (Gr. 32-62) I´m working with the Body-Measurements and not the Ready-to-Wear Measurements! Please make sure that you measure yourself correctly!
• Secrecy. During the pattern testing, no photos of the sewing process or pattern may be posted in other groups or social media … that will come later.
• Good photos. Since I am not a good photographer myself (as you can see above), my standards are not very high, but the fit of the skirt should be easy to see. Photos can be taken outside as well as in a building, there are no requirements.
  It would be nice, if you post some Work-in-Progress Pictures in the group server on Discord or in the FB-Group.
• Punctuality and Reliability. Deadlines have to be met, but if somebody can not take part in the pattern test/ or fulfill the deadlines, he/she has to get in touch with me in time!
• Advertising in sewing groups / your blog / Instagram etc. after publication!
  It would be very welcome, if you post your pictures of the finished garment after the Pattern Testing is finished!

The FB-Group Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/517706402339081/

Because of the developements the last few days/weeks, i encourage you to join me on Discord. I prefer it to FB, but if you don´t want, it is fine as well.

If you don´t want to join FB or Discord, communication via E-Mail is also very appreciated.
