After sharing my plans to make a stretchy Poppy in the sewcial I finally made a start!!
Unfortunately in black (notoriously impossible to photograph). I toiled in woven in a new size (which will also become a dress... The blue African wax) so I knew what I was working with, and then sewed it up taking approx 2 inches off the sides of each front panel. I cut the back panel on the fold so I took a little more off the back panel sides just to account for the seam allowance.
A couple of tweaks to make but super happy with it as a starting point!
Poppy swimsuit here I come!
