This week, I cut it from some fabric I thought would make some cute slacks but later decided I didn't really like....
It kinda fit, but I'm not sure I like me in something that doesn't have a shaped waist. I don't really like a top/skirt/seam at the waist real waist, but I really do like a long French dart or a set of vertical shaping darts. I think it gives actually a better shape and a little more room to the bust area.
This straight hanging shift style with conventional bust darts made me look like a green brick with a smashed chest. I realize it was just a muslin and I should still try this with a FBA, of course! But, it is pretty unattractive and I may just cut my losses with this one.....and, no photo, yuk!
But, I really, really, like this pattern and I have some navy suede - cloth to make it up in that will go so great with navy tights and my brown boots.
I'm going to switch gears and make a muslin for a yoked skirt and see where it leads me.
Discouraged, yet hopeful. Sewing trash can -- so pretty!
