I do wish I had made long sleeves though. I wear it only in the winter and with 3/4 length sleeves it's kind of odd. <br /><br />Is alpaca not elastic? I am not that familiar with it and have some in my stash.Kristen Rettighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176342218828307690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-41296287474579351582012-01-14T01:32:14.127-06:002012-01-14T01:32:14.127-06:00I've got the Peony pattern and it's near t...I've got the Peony pattern and it's near the top of my "to make" pile, maybe I should find a fabric and try it out.

I wish I knew how to draft my own patterns - at least you've got that skill, Lizz!

I love the pattern and the style, but you have so much of that tiny, tiny stockinette, and it does slip off the needles super easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-69420060206463013792012-01-13T12:55:53.399-06:002012-01-13T12:55:53.399-06:00I really, really wish I did.

I thought I had the Peony dress fairly ship-shape (although, since much of the sewing for that was an all-nighter, my recollection of things is a bit hazy!), but after seeing some photos from the wedding, there were weird horizontal wrinkles above my bust in many of them. Maybe it was trying to ride up or something? The Colette handbook seemed to suggest that horizontal wrinkles means there isn't enough width, so for my failed Christmas dress, I added 1/2" of width to the bodice, but now the darts are, while they seem to be in the right position, forming a weird pucker thing that's really unfortunate. As much as I love Colette patterns, the Peony bodice just doesn't make any sense to me at all. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-35525467127584336062012-01-13T12:19:42.238-06:002012-01-13T12:19:42.238-06:00I've been working on Truffle from the Colette ...I've been working on Truffle from the Colette Handbook and am running into a similar boob issue. I find it really difficult to change the D-cup drafting to fit my A-cups. My first muslin showed so many fit issues that I decided to scrap the whole thing and draft my own. I'm making up the muslin this afternoon and I hope it looks somewhat the same because I love this dress. Let me know what you discover because I can't imagine it's as hard as I'm making it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
