I’m loving sewing dresses using the Vogue V9199 pattern. I don’t like having to use zips and buttons and this dress simply pulls over the head. The drawback is that I’m restricted to stretch fabrics, but so far I’ve been happy with the ones that I’ve used.
I used a fabric which although a bit stretchy is not a stretch knit and sadly this dress feels too tight, I should have gone up a size when using a fabric which is not a stretch knit.
I made a matching dress for Acacia using New Look Pattern 6297, the style is slightly different but it also has a scoop at the front and longer at the back
