I’m not 100% convinced about this, but I think once it’s hemmed it’ll be great in the winter with a cardigan. Mostly the waistline looks… weird. I have a super high waist, but the dress almost looks too long in the back and too short in the front. Meh. Maybe next time I’ll do a band at the waist instead of just bodice -> skirt!
Dress Front
The main colour is teal ponte, and the black is a higher quality random bit of ponte I had in my stash.
The bodice is a Moneta in L and a 2″ total FBA which may not have been enough in this more solid fabric. I drew in princess seams to do side panels, and also used the back for neck and arm bindings.
Dress Side
The skirt is Tiramisu, cut big and with no CF or CB seams. I used the slash pockets from Cambie.
Dress Back
Maybe if like it better if there weren’t the gathers for the skirt? Idk, I’ve been looking at pictures of Moneta all week while I tried to decide what to do, and I actually really liked them on people!
So that’s my new dress. Yay dress! I definitely want more in softer jerseys, and will probably make more in ponte with some size adjustments.
Sorry for the wonky photos. I did them with my phone propped on some stuff on a chair!
