About this make
Fabric : viscose jersey (3m/140cm)
I followed the Cashmerette calculator's advice : 22 at the bust E/F, 30 at the waist.
For the bodice, I followed Jenny's advice. The needed waist measurement was 127 and the finished measurement for size 22 was 107. I missed 20 cm. I've divided it by 4 to have 5 cm and I've added those 5 cm to the side seam at the waist, grading from the bust.
I've basted by hand the dress and try it before sewing it. I've tried and cut the elastic on me.
I didn't need my round adjustment as the back and front necklines are low.
I didn't want the tie but, of course, I've sewn the pockets.
The only difficulty I encountered was with the straps during the "burrito unwraping". (don't know the words for that method). It was maybe because of the fabric.
I'm really happy with the result. I can wear it with a RTW bralette. It's easy to sew and comfy to wear. Now that my paper pieces are adapted it will be a TNT pattern for me.
And for the first time, I've dared to add a label.
