You should also consider whipping out a little jacket for an existing dress, a perfectly acceptable suit alternative these days, and much zipper than making an entire suit. This is Florida in summer after all :-).Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-15684127373567292192011-06-24T00:44:33.342-04:002011-06-24T00:44:33.342-04:00That dress looks so nice on you.

I once bought a skirt pattern where there was no way to get the yoke to match up with the bottom half of the skirt. I cut the pieces in two different sizes, which helped them fit together better, but in the end there were just too many inconsistencies. <br /><br />The fit of this dress seems pretty cute on you! I would definitely try it in a better material, even if you have to buy a different size and Frankenpattern (Joann has a McCall's sale coming up, July 1st thru 4th if you aren't already at your sister's). Also, as someone who hits the pattern size split as well, I feel your pain. I usually go for the bigger size in pants and the smaller one in skirts and dresses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-40282062526310978792011-06-23T23:03:33.112-04:002011-06-23T23:03:33.112-04:00I have been obsessed with this pattern since you f...I have been obsessed with this pattern since you first mentioned it and now I'm really sold! It looks great on you, so flattering. I must pick it up the next time McCall is on sale. I have a silk jersey I've been holding onto long enough.
