Sorry for the crummy pictures. Picture taking is such a pain! I like the last one best because you can see the print and the adorable button I put on the back of the skirt.
My main complaint is that the skirt fit a little better. I made my own pattern using the slopers we made for our Fitting and Alterations class (I keep striking out when using them). I was hoping to be able to tuck blouses into this skirt, but it doesn't fit well enough to do that, but I really like the way I wore it today with the cardigan.
There are also pockets on the dress, I used this tutorial from The Owls Are Not What They Seem. I love having pockets! These sit a little lower than I'd like, but that's because my skirt doesn't sit on my natural waist like it should.
I still have 8 yards of flannel! Next on the list: a vest.
I'm not so sure that the slopers in general at the lab are great to begin with, and then with novices altering them..they end up even more questionable. I tried to make several things with mine then finally just threw them away. :/
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! It makes me feel better. I'm making the vest using the slopers, so we'll see how that turns out.
DeleteI like the skirt. The sweater is a good choice, it makes the outfit!
