| Notes | This is the first Lekala pattern I've ever made, and I am SO IMPRESSED with the FIT! I did make a few design changes to better suit the look I wanted to achieve: > I changed the shape of the neckline, and drafted neckline facings. > I pegged the hem, and added a pleated detail at the bottom, using this tip with cardboard to ensure consistent knife pleats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiJHH8r00j8 Because the fabric was somewhat thick, instead of doubling it for the pleated trim I just did a rolled hem with the rolled hem foot. > I used an invisible zipper. This is the easiest well-fitting dress I've ever made! |

Nicely done. The hemline and neck line are nice touches and the back seam with the zipper is well executed. The floral pattern is perfectly aligned. I’m impressed. Practical question...Can you raise your arms? I have avoided fitted dresses with sleeves for this reason.

Very nice. I like the changes you incorporated, especially the hemline. The dress is very flattering on you and fits perfectly.
