Thank you! I like this pattern and make it with punto jersey. It went a bit to tight, so watch out dear sewciety 🙂 I would like to make it a little bigger – but i don’t have fabric left. What would you recommend?
Después de muchos años sin coser estoy intentando hacer este vestido pero soy incapaz de montarlo 😫 ¿alguien puede ayudarme? Gracias
hey, this dress looks great and I’ve already started sewing it. But I’m not sure about point 5 – where exactly should the elastic bands be sewn on? Sorry for the perhaps stupid question…
The elastic bands are used to gather the side seams near the waist.
Hi, Can you explain the neckline a bit better ? does the front neckline sanwich the back? found it a bit confusing 🙂 thanks!
