Last Saturday's #PatternPuzzle was one of those strange shapes that gave little idea of it's final shape. But in true form our fans were able to solve the puzzle. The style we are looking at is a ruched, drape skirt that relies on the two-way stretch of the fabric to pull over the hips without a zipper opening.
You'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.
Totally cool, Anita.
ReplyDeleteThx :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! What percent of stretch do you recommend for this style? I would imagine you'd want the wrinkles/drape lines to be fairly small so they don't make the wearer look too much larger, yes?
ReplyDeleteI'm not so good at percentages but would describe the fabric as soft, fine/light weight and drapey. I imagined a light jersey with elastane (polyester or modal maybe). It is a close but not tight fit so I would use a block with 0cm ease for my first toile. You will get fine drape lines with this kind of fabric and the design lines are both distracting and flattering to most figures. I also think this style would be worthy of a maxi length interpretation. Do you think you will make one? If so pls we would love to see it. :)
