love the fabric combination. very nice and congrats on being featured on the mainsite.
I was wondering how tall you are? It seems the bustpoints are placed pretty high. I’m thinking of making the dress myself and it looks like they’d be much to high for my height.
And how about the sizing? was it true to your measurements?
Thank you xx

Thank you, jilleigh. I think elongating the part above the bustpoints about 2" should be more fitting for me. But making a musslin, is probably the even better choice.
PS: Being about 5.2" is really awesome, because you can wear the highest heels possible. I’m 5,8" and am easily taller than most men, when wearing heels :(
but I’m not complaining… :)

uh sorry I marked anek comment as inappropiriate by error sorry!
I just wantetd to answer. Im 64.96 inches tall, but I had problem wit this pattern because the smallest nummer was to big for me, so I had a lot of constrict. Its better to make muslin first.

This is really nice! By the way, I have been thinking to use the Matthew Willamson pattern for the same effect!

I just used regular needle, but this leather is thin and easy for sewing.
