Having a small break from long hours at work, I got a chance to catch up with the Pattern Academy class I was auditing. This time around I decided to use the A Girl for All Time sloper.
After playing with a couple ideas that have not worked yet, I started on a Regency style dress. It took several attempts, adjusting pieces of the pattern before reaching the point of being ready to put it all together.
A green fabric with a leaf print was chosen for the fabric. It took just over one fat quarter to cut out the pieces. If I had gone for less skirt fullness, I might have gotten away with cutting it all out of one fat quarter.
The bodice has a rounded neckline and an empire waist. The sleeves are puffed at the top then fitted to the wrist. The skirt is gathered and is floor length.
