Dress Success

I finished my sheath dress. Here it is.


Here is the Talbots dress inspiration.


I am pleased with the results. It fits very well. Most all of my PMB clothes do. I had planned to use Vogue 8188. But after making so many bust fitting adjustments I was concerned that it was too much. I overlaid my PMB sheath pattern over the Vogue 8188 and made neckline changes to the PMB pattern and used this one instead. Here is the Vogue pattern. http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/voguepatterns/shop.cgi?search=V8188&TI=20001&M=&pageSize=9&s.search.all.x=13&s.search.all.y=13

I have cut out the jacket pattern and will begin it tomorrow. Here is the fabric I am using for the jacket.
