This is what happens when you make a decision based on what you think the fabric would look nice in, instead of making sure the fabric is suitable for the pattern.Sewingfunthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092262145485030184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244853757221381044.post-65166983366319087552014-07-01T12:00:10.775-06:002014-07-01T12:00:10.775-06:00I'm sorry the fabric didn't work.

Once you announced that you would be making the dress, I couldn't wait to see your review. Just because of you, I'll try making the dress again.Sewingfunthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092262145485030184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244853757221381044.post-48428180024090256522014-06-29T14:03:03.785-06:002014-06-29T14:03:03.785-06:00Thanks Judy!

I agree though that a drapier fabric would probably work best for both jacket and dress. I have made the dress twice now but both times the fabric has had drape and been lined with Bremsilk. I kept the width at the hem but must admit it's not very flattering when worn with a jacket so I tend to wear both dresses when it's too hot for cardi or jacket . then I find them the easiest, comfiest dresses to wear that keep me cool and look smart enough for work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612604600950412249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244853757221381044.post-51710292598059506382014-06-28T20:48:46.859-06:002014-06-28T20:48:46.859-06:00So sorry the fabric didn't work for you..

If you do make that jacket again a lovely flowing crepe would be nice.
