How you came to
choose the pattern: I am a pattern tester for this company.
Did you deviate from
the pattern? Small deviation. On the “bib”
portion, I lined the black one since I used Perfection Fused Leather and it
would have been hard to turn it under.
On the brown leather, I just left the edge raw.
Good:
This dress fit her great.
It didn’t have any ruffles and gathers, and was a great tween item. She got tons of compliments on her SuperGirl
dress. I went with her measurements and
graded between sizes (in this case I did 8W, 12L). The pattern instructions were fairly straight
forward, and this is a pretty easy pattern to make.
I made both versions with some leather additions (since I
have a stockpile!), and it helped to make them look more mature. The bib section was great for adding iron-on
vinyl embellishments, which she requested.
The drawstring is cute, and I added some beads to the ends to give them
some interest, and also to make sure they wouldn’t slip through the holes for
the drawstring.
Bad:
I don’t really have anything bad on this one. It was a fairly easy sew.
Ugly:
Nada. It is cute and
she loves it.
