Description

My Alison. Wow was this hard. Turns out I don't have quite this much patience :) I followed the instructions that Isabelle provided in her blog (for the most part). I added the binding around the leg openings similar to she did. The seam under my bodice is not so great looking. I noticed it too late. Oh well! I think it's at least wearable :) If there is a next time, I will add some length for my long waist, and add some extra width to the bust. You should see the poor inside of this garment. Sorry the pictures are not the best, but I have to say this takes some guts! Ha :)

Materials

polyester/lycra knit from Hancock's

Isabelle for her great directions!

Beautiful! This was worth all your hard work - it came out great. You captured the cool retro feel but the bright color makes it very contemporary. Love it!

I hate green colours - for the most part. But what you made is really amazing! I never thought a colour like this could look so absolutely stylish. Wow!

It´s really great! I´m afraid of sewing Alison because it seems really hard to do! But i love the model. And your Alison is absolutly wonderful! Suuuuuuuuuuper.
