I had a great time working with this lovely fabric: CH Cotton Stretch purchased from Emma One Sock
This print reminds me of Gustav Klimt's Kiss:

Pattern: Simplicity 2648 View B Size 6
I raised the neckline by 5/8", changed the shoulder angle, and shortened the bodice.
What is great about Simplicity Amazing Fit collection is that you can choose SLIM/average/curvy fit option. When I started sewing long time ago, articles on pattern alteration were almost always about how to make things bigger, not other way around. So this collection is remarkable and I hope it continues to offer slim option.
Skirt has a vent on the back.

If I use this pattern again, I may change arm facings to bias facings or combine arm and neck facings and redraw as one piece.

ReplyDeletemodern day Klimt.
I've had a lot of success with this pattern over the years. Love your version. If you don't like facings it is quite easy to fully line the top half or whole garment.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for a full lining next time for sure! Love this pattern. Thanks for the tip, Gail!
