Talking about the right dress... I love my Newlook 6429. This is my second time of making this dress and I am still very much in love with it... I am (hopefully) going to make every version....lol....
Here is the first one and you can read the review there as well. However, I did some quality sewing with this version:
(1) I finished the armhole SA with seam binding
(2) I slipstitched the neck facing
(3)I bond the hem with lite steam- a-seam and this time used my coverstitch machine to finish it.
Next time I will add about 1" to the sleeve if I have to make this long sleeve again ,I forgot to do the flat measurement of the sleeve before cutting the fabric so I had to do 1/4" on the cuffs and armhole... it looks pretty nice on me and I love it............................
Here are some pictures for you...........................wink
