I was scared to cut in that bird fabric as well.. I wish I had gotten more it’s so beautiful .. I ended up making a butterick loose fitting dress that came out ok.. the curved hem is not the best.. but I will be wearing it
You need to explore indie patterns. The big 4 are always ALWAYS sized...stupid. when using new look simplicity of Buttrick or McCall's I use the FINISHED garment measurements usually somewhere on the pattern pieces NOT on the envelope. So sooo annoying. Love to watch your journey. Check out pattern emporium(currently on sale) Love Notions, Ellie& Mac, Sinclair, Greenstyle. They usually fit right out of the printer and tape dispenser except I usually have to add 1½-2"... Im 5'8". Once you try indie... The big 4 usually get put aside except maybe NEW LOOK. The sizing just sucks in comparison. Don't get hung up on the printing and taping. It's mindless. Just print the pieces you need for the view and just print one size down, the size you need and one size up. Using Adobe.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m definitely open to exploring different patterns and I appreciate you sharing actual patterns for me to check out! Fit is definitely a hangup with The Big Four.
I definitely love how you kept challenging yourself and stretching your skills.🎉
It was definitely a year of growth and learning! I’m ready to take on 2025!

I second indie patterns, the sizing is way better and I also second Ellie & Mac and will add Patterns for Pirates as well with the others mentioned.
Awesome! Thanks y’all ♥️
