Yes, I agree the pattern needs a facing, bias wouldn't feel strong enough, and the pattern cuffs are a bit nondescript. I suppose in fairness they were drafted well before the current trend. Loved your cocktail outfit, I'm just about to start mine.magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683334679520535250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-20618288108093995152017-05-18T23:06:19.568-07:002017-05-18T23:06:19.568-07:00I love everything about this!

I was about to say your cuffs turned out much better than mine when I tried it and then read that you'd drafted your own! Great job! I felt like the one's that came with the pattern are a little smallFiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-53284848291308845982017-05-11T11:49:43.989-07:002017-05-11T11:49:43.989-07:00Have a go Kathleen, the fit was probably the best ...Have a go Kathleen, the fit was probably the best shift dress fit I've found but of course it is still not very fitted.

You've inspired me to revisit it again. It was the fit that was off but I made it when I had just returned to sewing (after a LONG hiatus!) and I wasn't as savvy at fitting myself as I am now so I should be able to fix it better. Love your fabric too! This is the sort of dress you can wear anywhere and to any function.PsychicSewerKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911914507722968930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-30097793803595392902017-05-10T23:21:48.030-07:002017-05-10T23:21:48.030-07:00Thanks Manju its definitely one of my favourites.Thanks Manju its definitely one of my favourites.magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683334679520535250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-47238305844318987672017-05-10T15:00:07.516-07:002017-05-10T15:00:07.516-07:00Great fabric, fit and sleeves.
