It's finished! or is it?
I'm not very happy with the fit, but all that ease at the back is necessary if I am to move around and raise my arms
Maybe I've just got too used to wearing stretchy fabrics.
I'm also undecided about the neckline. The lace edging that's around the hem and the sleeves didn't look right so I've left it plain but it seems to emphasise my lop-sided shoulders. Maybe I'll be able to find a very narrow edging that's suitable.
I haven't made a belt either. Does it look as though it needs it? - the pattern says to use ribbon.
I decided on unlined sleeves, so hand stitched the lining to the sleeve seam so didn't need to bind those seams as per instructions, nor did I need to make lingerie guards to hold shoulder straps in place but I did put in a waist stay to take any strain off the zip. I elimiated all CF and CB seams and used the overlocker for the seams to make them narrower and less obvious. Apart from all that it's more or less as the pattern says.
