Size: 18
Fabric: 1.75M 45" Lawn Cotton (Harisons)
Details:
- Barely enough fabric for the top.
- Did a full bust adjustment
- Lengthened the top by 2"
- Installed an invisible zipper and hook and eye
- This is a semi-fitted garment with side slits and the waist has been intentionally taken in to 38" including ease.
My favourite hem treatment with bias binding |
Somehow most instructions do not say to stitch the facing down but I prefer to do that so that it's not fiddly. Used catch stitch so that it can have some flexibility |
The bust darts are ironed upwards so as to minimise a full bust |
Two thumbs up.
