I have made two versions of this dress previously so all pattern adaptions have already been made. I raised the front neckline as that was a bit too low for me and altered the shoulders to fit my forward shoulders
The fabric is a slithery viscose bought for this dress two years ago and never made up so this time I went for it to get it out of the way.
I got up early this morning to cut this out before it got too hot. I had 4m of 54" fabric (excuse the mixed units of measurement I grew up using both and inter change them often!!)I only just managed to get the sleeveless version out of it. I didn't have enough for the collar. I did cut out the bodice twice as I fully line it rather than messing with facings. I'm also hoping the poppies behave themselves in the chest area.
It's now too hot to do more (my sewing room is in the attic!) so I think this will be a slow sew.
