The ric-rac looks great and gives it that extra detail. I love dresses with front pockets too - why has the fashion world taken so long to realise that pockets are what every woman needs?

I really want to make it and I have looked at the pattern so many times but the shipping to the US would be so high it really is not cost effective at this point.

I took a seam down the front to pull in the shoulders but it made the neck a V shape rather than a scoop.

See now why I love making it too? Once you've got the pattern perfected to your shape, you just HAVE to make another...or 2...or 7! ;-) Happy weekend lovely, xxgillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044947317861728599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-11296133723766039472015-05-09T09:05:17.875+01:002015-05-09T09:05:17.875+01:00Ok this post has made me very yptef to try.

As soon as the patterns arrived I wanted to sew one, but I just haven't had the time, so lucky me....Mum took pity on me and made me two!!!! What a fabulous mum I have!!!!! I agree they are roomy, so I think when I make the next one, (because two isn't enough) I'll do a size smaller..... and yes I'll make the next one, I think I'll be pushing my luck to get mum to make me a third! Have a lovely weekend.

I found the shoulders too wide as well, but have compromised with a smaller size top (although it still seems a bit wide on the shoulders). I have lengthened mine too as I don't want them above the knee. I am just a beginner at clothes making so am not good at altering patterns to fit, but I still love wearing them. Yours looks great!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-8649320319854862842015-05-08T21:08:19.370+01:002015-05-08T21:08:19.370+01:00It is gorgeous!
