I'm not good at this forum business and this is one of my few posts... not sure if I'm in the right place! Do direct me if I am posting in the wrong chat!
Just wondering if anyone has made this dress? It's for jersey fabrics and apparently it works well for a viscose jersey. Obviously I didn't have that in my stash but I did have a cotton jersey.
My questions are multiple!
I made it following the measurements and the finished garment measurements and it's huge!
I failed to shorten the bodice = My fault (I'm under 5ft with a petite frame underneath the coverage!)
So I have taken it in and shortened accordingly.
The waist still doesn't sit on my waist. It's kind of in-between in the "thickening trunk" area [thanks menopause] and I don't know if this pattern works for a rounder shape?
If anyone has words of advice or a different pattern to try - I don't want or need anymore Billie (TATB) or SouthBank (Nina Lee) sweater dresses but I love jersey and would love to add something new to my collection that has worked for you if you have big boobs, a tummy and rather than a pattern for those of us who aren't tall and not carrying extra pounds as I am!
