Pattern Details

No pattern used

Construction Process

I actually completely self drafted this pattern! Using some gathering and knowledge gained from making the top of the cowgirl mini dress - I might have to digitise this one !

Techniques and Skills

No new skills learned buuut my first successful fully self-drafted project *proud*

Outcome and Evaluation

I love how it turned out! I would definitely make some changes however when I make this pattern again - ie I feel the gathered section could be longer to sit more nicely over the bust. And also would like to install an invisible zipper to make it easier to put on and take off. Probably could use a bit of refinement around the straps but overall so happy with it - also imagine this but with like a duotone situation for the gathers… hehe
