It’s not too thin but is more of a\u00a0 medium-weight knit fabric so it’s easy to sew. That also means that it’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’ve made that I didn’t make any alterations to (I made View D). In the future, I certainly could make the sway back adjustment (which I’ve never done before – 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’m still very happy with the results. And because it’s knit, it’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’m always challenged by certain pattern styles. I’m not challenged by whether I think it would look good or not, but I’m often challenged by whether the neckline is going to be too low or make me uncomfortable in some way. I don’t know if any of you go through this, but I am constantly wondering if I’ll be able to move freely without exposing anything that shouldn’t be exposed – LOL! Well, this particular dress is not a problem for me in regard to movement. It’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’m wearing. There’s no pulling, tugging or readjusting needed. That’s what I’m looking for in my me-made wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of what I make tends to be fairly classic in style.
