This has just got to be the best fitting all-around dress. There are 93 reviews over at Patternreview.com and I’ve never seen a version on other people that wasn’t flattering. This is my third dress out of this pattern. This fabric is one I picked up in San Diego at the Swap Meet. It’s a silky polyester/spandex. I would wear this to work if I was way more covered up; like with a sweater or cardigan over it. I’m thinking it might be my Halloween party dress though.
What’s really weird about it is that it makes my right hip look funny. I’m pretty sure it’s just the way the pattern “points” to my hip though.
It was windy. I’m not intentionally being vampy. Or maybe I am. Bum ,bum, buuuum.
The back is my favorite part!
This fabric was a bitch to coverstitch until I tried using this water-soluble stabilizer with it. I put the stabilizer under the fabric and let the feed dogs pull the stabilizer along. That helped to pull the fabric along. Did I mention the fabric has some copper glitter in it?
Once I was done, I trimmed off the stabilizer, dipped it in hot water, and washed off all the gunk.
I was left with a perfect coverstitch on the other side!
Is this not cool fabric?? Oh, and yea, we have snow.
