We love what Colette did with the Lisette B6168 pattern! She changed it up just a bit by trying a petal\/tulip sleeve tutorial. Look how cute the sleeves turned out! She\u2019s here now to tell you about her pretty fit-and-flare dress.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nPattern used:<\/strong> Lisette B6168<\/a>
\nFabric used:<\/strong> Rayon
\n
\nDid the fabric work well?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perfectly! Rayons come in different weights, this one was reasonably stable for cutting and sewing but still has a very nice drape. I knew it wanted to be B6168 as soon as I saw it.<\/p>\n

How did the sewing go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made a muslin which showed the size I picked was good for me, but I had to let out the side seams a little to give me some more ease. I tapered them out from the underarm to the waist. The sleeves were a little tight on me so I decided this was a great dress to try a tulip sleeve on!<\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best part was how cleverly the bodice and yoke all fit perfectly together. I love that the keyhole is made using a tab instead of a bias bound neckline. The bodice may look like quite a few pieces but it still comes together pretty quickly and I really like the added interest to the look of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
