Fort Dress

Looking forward to sewing this pattern!

This pattern looks so appealing and I can’t wait to cut it out and start sewing. I just recently set my sewing room up for projector sewing, and this will be my first pattern. I don’t anticipate any problems, although I may have technical issues with the projector and computer set up. The pattern itself looks well laid out and it’s a classic that I think will look good on me.

Great fit on the first try

I have narrow shoulders & a large cup size. Wrap patterns often end up too low and revealing or too high and awkward. This was just perfect. I did my usual forward shoulder adjustment, otherwise went with a straight 1X. The front shows just enough to give great proportions but I don’t feel exposed or uncomfortable wearing it anywhere. I left the sleeves off to make it more hot-weather friendly and on my petite-ish frame it still hits my elbows. I made this out of a cupro bengaline. I got so many compliments on the dress. It is a great blank slate for beautiful fabric. I think it would be fairly simple to turn this into a 2 piece set & might try that on the next round.

Stylish dress

I m in the middle of the sewing process and this dress is easy to sew and to fit.
