It&#8217;s not too thin but is more of a\u00a0 medium-weight knit fabric so it&#8217;s easy to sew. That also means that it&#8217;s going to hang well on the body.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1028\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sewlimitless.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_3767-e1541527109359.jpg?resize=533%2C800\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the few garments I&#8217;ve made that I didn&#8217;t make any alterations to (I made View D). In the future, I certainly could make the sway back adjustment (which I&#8217;ve never done before &#8211; need to learn how to do that). I think that would eliminate some of the excess fabric in the back at the waist. But overall, I&#8217;m still very happy with the results. And because it&#8217;s knit, it&#8217;s very comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1031\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sewlimitless.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_3723-e1541531964137.jpg?resize=533%2C800\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always challenged by certain pattern styles. I&#8217;m not challenged by whether I think it would look good or not, but I&#8217;m often challenged by whether the neckline is going to be too low or make me uncomfortable in some way. I don&#8217;t know if any of you go through this, but I am constantly wondering if I&#8217;ll be able to move freely without exposing anything that shouldn&#8217;t be exposed &#8211; LOL! Well, this particular dress is not a problem for me in regard to movement. It&#8217;s very comfortable to wear. I also like the fact that I can put this on and go about my business without thinking about what I&#8217;m wearing. There&#8217;s no pulling, tugging or readjusting needed. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m looking for in my me-made wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of what I make tends to be fairly classic in style.
