I admit, I was very close to throwing this pattern into the bin more than once. ^_^° The shoulders were a bit tricky, but I think I found a good solution.
Here we have another vintage-inspired dress, this time with gatheres at the shoulders and paneled skirt.
This is a sewing pattern I've wanted to tackle for a long time. I've already sewn a few jackets and dresses with continuous dividing seams, but I still had to code this into my program.
I love the so-called Princessline patterns. Instead of sometimes hard darts, soft transitions are sewn and everything is somehow flowing and harmonious.
I call this my blanket dress. It is made from a thicker, dark-gray wool and so long an cuddly like a blanket!
Yes, I am one of these, I am always cold. :D
I might have chosen a higher fitting class, so that there is more ease. The bodice is a bit tight when I layer a sweater underneath. But you can change that if you want to sew one of these, too. ;)
I have lined the bodice, but the pattern includes facings for neck and armholes, too.
