So, I was inspired to get Vogue 9112 after seeing all your lovely dresses. I lengthened by 2 inch and chose a soft crepe from my stash as I thought it would drape well. I never got round to the collar or putting in sleeves as it is like a shapeless tent, way too much fabric.
I might have another go but make it smaller and choose a more stable fabric, although to be honest if something doesn't work out the first time round then i tend to put the pattern to the back of the drawer and the offending garment in the recyling bin.
Do you persevere with patterns that don't work as you expected or are you like me and cut your loses?
