Emily VelascoNew pattern, new fabric. I haven't done a #sewing project in a while. Maybe something for Saturday
The bodice did not fit right at all, so I had to take the dress apart. The good news is it looks like I can adjust the bodice to be pretty cute without a lot of trouble
Often with these patterns I wonder what the designer was thinking. The resulting garment will be so far off from anything that makes sense with a human body
Test fitting a waist band. I think that the darts under my tiddys need to be a little more aggressive still
I finished my dress!
I had to change the bodice, the waist band, and the straps, but now it fits well and looks cute
I would like to make another with this modified pattern, but out of something with a bit of stretch to it
The astute among you might notice that this dress is very similar to my favorite green dress. That was deliberate.

theantladySuper cute! I could definitely see how a bit of stretch would make it more comfortable and freeing.
@theantlady I tried to make this cotton as stretchy as possible, so the waist band is cut on the bias and I used stretch stitches for anything going around my waist or chest. It's not bad at all, but having actual stretch fabric would be nice

vxo@MLE_online that looks amazing!
@vxo I'm pretty proud of it! Usually when I have to modify a pattern that much, the results end up so-so, but this one came out really nice
Not Surprised@MLE_online I think it looks fantastic but my emphasis may not be on the same thing yours is. Keep going.

@MLE_online in the era of fast fashion I love people who make their own.
JParsons@MLE_online tis ballin, I wonder if the bottom strap would look good with addressable RGB lighting or LED filament line?
Pepper@MLE_online I really need to get back I to sewing, I have such a big box of dress patterns and stuff from a tag sale and just found that they are my size...
@pepper oh yea, you gotta try some of those patterns!
Matt@MLE_online i like the patterns in these fabrics! :D
Josh Renaud@MLE_online I’m getting some William Ware Theiss / Star Trek TOS vibes there.
@kirkman i dont know what any of that means!
@kirkman oh TOS is "the original series" and this guy was a designer of costumes for it?
@MLE_online Exactly. He had a very distinctive look on Star Trek, especially for female guest stars’ costumes. I’m trying to find a good photo gallery to share but I’m also cooking dinner.
Apiary@MLE_online at least it’s cute.
@Apiary I know, and I'm really hoping it fits and is flattering without a bunch of fussing required when I finish it
Ben A L Jemmett@MLE_online Now I am no dressmaker by any stretch of the imagination - I am vaguely aware it involves thread and pokey things - but it seems to me that you might have missed a step around the whole 'straps' sorta area. It looks like it will make a fine dress once it stays up, though!
@baljemmett is not done yet!
@MLE_online ... and here I was thinking you might have been indulging your exhibitionist streak!
(I really need to pop into the haberdashery in town sometime and see about finding some nice straightforward patterns. Every time you post about sewing something new it looks a fun and rewarding way to spend some time.)
@baljemmett is wearing something that you made yourself and looking/feeling good in it is one of the most satisfying things. And homemade clothes inevitably get compliments because they look different than stuff that is sold in stores, so you always end up with a nice opportunity to tell someone, I made it myself!
