She’s in a 6 lengthened to a 7 at the moment and it fits very nicely.
The problem with going any smaller is you need to lengthen all the pattern pieces, not just at the skirt piece, or you would lose all the lovely proportions of this dress.

Not how I remember stubbies!

I really logged on to say your Jed is a real gem. My hubby, if asked about the clothes the kids are wearing, would mutter something about patterns online and move as fast as he could in the other direction! It’s great that Jed has so much pride in Your beautiful sewing.

About the length of the modelled version below.
Question is do I take the length out of the middle of the pattern piece like you would on lomg pants, or just from the bottom given how wide they finish and the deep 2 inch hem? Any thoughts?…[Read more]
