Sorry for your loss. I wear bright to funerals. The last funeral I went too was a gorgeous lady that requested bright pinks. Your dress is gorgeous Great line up to make. Still waiting for summer here 😂 Have a great sewing week 🥰🦩🥰🦩

It’s a very classy outfit!

[@suecrook5606]

What a fantastic make. A beautiful, classy dress

[@sallyadams3981]

I can hear the sadness in your voice Kirsten, I am so very sorry you have lost someone dear to you and your family. Your dress is completely suitable and respectable to pay tribute to memory of a dear family member.

Sitting here taping together a odd pattern as you talk about not having to do that any more 😂 maybe I need an A0 printer just for myself 😂 Loving the new dress, simple yet stylish. Condolences to Joe, you and the family 💐

Kristen, there is a lady in Melbourne who invented a measurement ruler called The Pattern Drafter. She has classes in person and online on how to use it and you can make your own "sloper" this way. It's initially how I learned to draft as she has basically taken all the tricky measurements and things out in order to make this rule - I think she even went on Shark Tank with it. But it is a brilliant tool and fantastic way to learn how to draft patterns without having to go and do a course at TAFE or Uni. I'm not a small person and I managed so size doesn't exclude (and you're much smaller than I am) and she has a ruler for adult drafting and one for children's sizing also.

Yes that’s the perfect dress for many occasions. Fits perfectly on you and you look great in it. Thanks for sharing.

Kristen I have that same belt and it is from Dangerfield, as you thought. PS the dress is lovely! I have all those patterns and will give it a go :)

[@margiehogan3315]

It's beautiful. Well done!

[@brigittedossor8167]

That black dress is fabulous.

[@jenniferewart]

So looking forward to seeing your choice of patterns suitable for showcasing large bold prints. I am trying to move away from ditsy prints , but I honestly have no idea what to make with the bold viscose print I have recently purchased . Great dress by the way !

[@belindaezzy1121]

Great LBD and blouse. Looking forward to seeing another year of your inspirational makes 🥰🧵👗🪡

[@thedahliasewciety]

[@vickichisholm931]

Lovely dress. I have just made the Hello Gorgeous Tshirt; lovely top. Also, I am thinking of going to TAFE to learn pattern drafting. I have a black ponte skirt I have made with your fabric and worn it heaps to work.

Beautiful dress. I would love to be confident enough to mish mash pattern pieces. You did a fantastic job!

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Your dress looks lovely Kristen, great mash up, always good to have a black dress in your wardrobe, you never know. Some lovely new patterns and pattern companies, there are so many I have never heard of, some fabulous ideas designers have. Looking forward to your new fabrics, not that I’m buying more fabric 😂😂. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

[@Escape10mom]

Love your LBD!!

[@thedahliasewciety]

@@Escape10mom it's such an easy make too Terri xx

[@michellewallace8387]

Beautiful makes, Kristen, as always. I recently made a wearable toile of the Celestial dress and I really love it, however I found the hemline shorter at the front than the back. I'm wondering if I need to do a full bust adjustment as there doesn't seem to be enough length in the front for me. I don't usually have this trouble and I'm wondering did you have to alter the pattern for this? Or did I somehow make a mistake somewhere. Our measurements are similar. Thanks.
