I tried a pashmina and a simple fabric belt and liked both.
So what do you do dear? #1 Grab a belt or a scarfĬinching loose waists is not a cure all, but in this case, it really does help. You might find yourself in the same position if you have more of an hourglass (you lovely X shapes!) silhouette. I myself am a pear shape (A shape!), and without any waist definition, I do not feel particularly polished. Styling for a better fitīecause there aren’t any darts and this has a pretty loose waist, I think Lulu could benefit from some extra styling. Still, it wasn’t too bad since this is a pretty simple pattern. I even managed to mess up the right side on one of my sleeves and had to take it apart and re-sew it. It took some time to cut this right so that the stripe matching could work. Instead, I cut 2 fronts and added a seam at CF and CB so I could alternate the pattern. Sneaky… To get the alternating stripes, I didn’t cut the front and back on the fold. The stripes are actually 60 degrees to the straight grain, so while it looks like I put the stripes on the bias, they’re actually on the straight grain. You could even take off the sleeves entirely, bind the sleeve holes with bias and make a tie neck as a neck binding for a summer halter.įor me, I used this striped cotton shirting from Cali Fabrics. You could use a contrasting color on the sleeves for a little colorblocking. Can you hack it?Īs far as pattern hacking goes, there’s a couple of good options. But the instructions are good on this point. The only thing that might be intimidating for a beginner is the facing for the keyhole. There’s no zippers or buttons or darts to sew in this pattern! What? What a rare bird among woven dress patterns! I have a friend who’s terrified of buttonholes and zippers of all kinds, so this pattern would be perfect for her.Īnd because there’s none of these things, this dress sews up pretty quickly.
