the colour is GREAT, and the trim is also pretty cool too.
Nice pattern too, would like to have a go…

Love the pattern! I was thinking of making this in a knit and I was wondering if that would work well? Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated? Thanks!

I’m making this in satin now (non stretch) and it fits beautifully without needing a zipper.

It is a nice design but i didnt like the colour. Another colour would have made it look really good

The pattern does not ask for stretchy material. You can use Satin. You still want to make sure to fit in on you before finishing, in case you are a mixed size..but who am I telling that :)

Nice!
Elegant colors and fabrics!
One question: does the fabric for this pattern need to be stretchy? I was maybe thinking in sewing this in satin, although it is not a solid color…would it work?
