i have this pattern and have bought some cheap (ish!) cotton to make this dress. my original plan is to make a mock up first then get some fabric i really like to make it with.
i am a relative newbie to this sewing malarkey having only made a couple of skirts and easy things, so i am nervous! can anyone give me any dummy-proof pointers about sizing? my waist is 2 sizes smaller than my bust and hips so i was planning on doing the larger size then winging it tbh with the darts!
any useful pointers from you seasoned sewers?
You might consider a different pattern if you want to end up with a dress you'll be happy to wear. Look for something with a circular skirt and fitted bodice if you want a 50's look.
