I used a Simplicity Amazing Fit pattern ...
I really liked this patten because it helped you figure out ( from the measurements you take ) whether you were Slim, Average, or Curvy. I was "Average". Blah!!! who wants to be average ?! :) Anywhoo this worked out great because it allowed me to sew a shell of the pants and then work from that. I must have gone back and forth to the mirror 12 times sizing and marking . It was very tedious but I was able to get a great fit !
Oh! I made the shirt also . AGAIN I had to choose the hardest material ever to work with! I used a sheer polka dot fabric that i found off the "remnant " table at Hancock Fabric.
I used a Butterick shirt pattern that I had for a while...
The only difficult part about the shirt was the material . It was so lightweight that I had to make sure that the machine wouldst bunch it .I made a few changes to the pattern ; I took away the pockets in the front and lengthen my arms about 2 inches to make sure that it didn't fall to short on my arms .
Overall I think that it turned out pretty good!!
I hope you like!!!!
XOXO
