Hem
The curved hem at the back was challenging to neatly turn in. I applied a hand sewn ease stitch to help press the curve in. This takes a bit longer to complete but it is so helpful!
Finished Garment
Here are a few things I learned from creating this design:
- When draping a fitted design for myself on a dress form, decrease the bust in the pattern because my bust measurement is not as large as Miss Alice the dress form.
- Interline or interface the front and back neckline facing to provide more structure. What an amateur move by me! I wanted to maintain a really light and airy feel to this design, but I still needed to maintain shape/structure around the neckline.
