Flourish Dress Coat Sewing Pattern - Women's/Curved Fit

I had so much fun with this project!

As a newbie to the sewing world, I found this pattern super fun and challenging but easy to follow. A few things I would do differently… - Make sure I don’t sew the rouleau too far into the dress, I made a beautiful tie from the plaid fabric but couldn’t fit it through my top loops! So I pivoted to this pretty cord. - I would be more careful about cutting accurately and lining up the edges… something small can become a bigger issue, I had to abandon ship on the last step of sewing the hidden hem because it exposed how uneven the lining was sewn! Oops! Otherwise I am so happy with how it came out and can’t wait to try again!

Good so far

I havent printed it or sewn it but I had no problem getting iy

Summer wearable toile

I made my wearable toile from a king single double sided quilt/duvet cover. I did a simple V neck and ommited the collar/hood. I'm short and big chested so did the full bust adjustment and shortened it a lot. I did not line the sleeves as I wanted something lighter to throw on after swimming and in summer evenings.
