Jersey Dress
Pattern: Butterick B5278
Difficulties: The fabric was just way too stretchy.
Changes I made: The dress is meant to be one color or pattern, but I thought two-toned was the way to go.
Overall, I love what this dress looks like, but it was the perfect example of me picking the wrong fabric. I used jersey that was nearly spandex, in that it was so slippery and so stretchy. This caused a lot of puckering and bad seams. I was able to go back and fix a few of the problems, but at the end of the day, the dress isn't one I wear. Making this dress again is high priority for me these days, especially since my current job requires long sleeves to cover my tattoos.
What I learned: Fabric is something I often overlook. I find something pretty, and don't necessarily think through whether it's the right fabric for the project. This was a rude awakening in that matter.
