A Suzi Chin knit pattern made with 100% African cotton fabric.....Sweetttttttttt....wink
Fabric: 100% African fabric
Pattern Description: Loose-fitting, flared dresses A, B, below mid-knee or evening length, have lined, gathered v-neck bodice, neck band, front draped midriff and back zipper.
Pattern Sizing: I didn't use the pattern sizing to cut this fabric, I cut based on the client's measurement
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: I really can't say, but looke so superb on the client when she tried it on
Were the instructions easy to follow: I did't use it for most part, but very straight forward
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I lengthened the dress to floor length,
I lined the bodice and
lengthened the neck belt so that it will drop down when tie in the back
I sewed both the lining and the fabric as one piece right-side together and turned outside for a neater inside
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Absolutely love the style and everything about this pattern. Nothing to dislike
Conclusion: A very nice pattern, easy to sew and very flattering. I will surely be making one for me as well.
Enjoy!!!
LOVE this! Period.

ReplyDeleteThat dress wants to go to a party on the beach with an umberlla drink!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous and love the idea of going against the pattern fabric suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI bet your client looked like a total goddess. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteYour client is going to be one happy person!! This dress is so nice..."sweeet" is correct!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! I came across this looking for information on how to add ease to a knit pattern for a woven fabric. I really like the list of alterations you made, but didn't see anything about adjusting the ease. I guess the pattern was blousey enough as-is?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. The ease was considered before I cut the pattern, as I explained above. I cut the pattern based on the exact measurement of my client, normally I cut size 14 for her but her measurement falls under size 18 for this pattern....You cut pattern based on the finished measurement shown on the back of the pattern paper. Please let me know if this clarifies it
