Grrrrr Wrap Dress

April 2015: New Look 6674 Wrap Dress. This was meant to be a wearable muslin (i have the most gorgeous navy patterned crepe that will make a fantastic wrap dress if I can only find a pattern). It took several frustrated days of yelling at the terrible pattern instructions to make - this is what comes of someone who is used to the wonders of Indy-designed patterns attempting to use a Big 4 pattern. Couldn't have been made harder if they'd tried. In the end it looks ok...except...it only looks ok on the mannequin. On a real human with actual boobs and a body that moves, there is a serious gap-age situation that renders the dress pretty unwearable. I suspect I can strategically apply some poppers to keep things tucked away, but at the moment this has been resigned to the UFO pile

  2. I know! And the fabric looks sort of like cherries - it's all much cuter than expected. Stupid pattern. Bah humbug.
