The best jumpsuit!

I have made three of these jumpsuits now: all of them lovely and each one completely different. It's a great pattern - straightforward to follow if you just go with the flow and follow the instructions. The only fiddly bit is the press studs - after completely botching this the first time round I have since used magnetic fasteners which are way easier and quicker to put in, look great and do the job just fine. This is the third one I've made, and is probably the dressiest on account of the dark fabric. I love it. It's very comfortable to wear and looks pretty stylish, I think. I have short stumpy legs but even so, I felt the length could have been slightly longer. Also, it would have been nice to have belt loops and when I make my next one, I'll probably add them. It's a really great pattern, one of my favourite TAL makes.

Easy, comfortable, adaptable

I've made a number of different jumpsuits and this is probably the easiest. The pattern is put together very ingeniously, so that you get some nice details like the shaped raised collar and the front placket without having to sweat over complicated construction. I used a stretch twill and I think it was a perfect choice. I added an inside casing for elastic to the back, which for me makes it a little easier to wear without the sash (it depends on body type, of course). I also removed half an inch from the rise and added the same amount back to the pants, and when I make it again I'll add 1" in length to both the pants and the sleeves (personal preference). The difference between sizes is pretty significant, so since my measurements fell between a small and a medium I just cut between the two sizes (which was easy to do).
