Here’s my version of the lydia pattern! I made the sleeves elbow length because I didn’t want to use more fabric than I had to. I could get two shorter sleeves out of the space between the two bodice pieces so i went with that. This is basically meant to be a muslin anyway so I didn’t mind. However, I do like the sleeve length.
I added lace so I won’t have to hem the bottom and sleeves.
I sewed a 38 but I feel like it’s a bit big, especially in the shoulders. Which is super weird because going by my measurements, I ought to be sewing a 40 or 42 but my raglan was a 40 and it’s a bit big also so I went with 38 on this one. I might try 36 next for the Lydia and 38 for the raglan.
