今回で使うの3回目の型紙はカナダのJalie社の型紙3024番。
（前に作ったのはグレーバージョンと70年代風花柄バージョン）
布はレースっぽいニットと黒ニットのコンビで。着心地はいいんだけど、気を緩めるとお腹ポッコリがバレバレなんだよね。（もちろんお腹引っ込めで写真撮影）
ニットなのにドレッシーに見えるワンピースになりました。
I made a little black dress while watching Prince Harry's wedding this weekend.
Let me say a couple of things about the wedding: First of all, I have to say, it was such a beautiful day for the wedding. Perfect weather. Couldn't be better. Secondly, did Americans surprise Brits with the animated Bishop's sermon? Interesting to see the facial expressions of the attendees.
Anyway, my LBD.
The pattern is Jalie 3024. I have made it twice before (the gray version and the 70's floral version).
The fabric for the skirt is a slid black ponte. The fabric for the top is like a double knit; cream color base knit and the lacey overlay knitted together.
I added a lining to the skirt portion using some black mesh fabric.
Since I have gained weight in UK, this time I cut a size S at neck and shoulder, then T at waist and the rest of the skirt.
I lengthened the bodice by 1", shortened the skirt by 2", and added the waist band pattern piece to the skirt pattern piece so no waist band.
Aaarh, this massive excess fabric at the low back is really annoying.
I did try the swayback adjustment by shortening the back bodice by 1.5". But the boat neck was too high on me so I ended up switching the front and back bodice. (This pattern uses interchangeable front/back bodice pattern.)
The hem of the flounce is totally left raw.
I was surprised how dressed-up this dress looks despite a very casual knit dress pattern with dolman sleeve. Very happy how it turned out except for the back (argh!).
