I think you'd have to be really careful about using the midrif/bodice part as a dress on its own, since it probably fits way looser than a strapless dress should. If you measure as you cut, you probably could get it right, but it's tricky and might not fit right. There are a few other tube dress patterns out there, Simplicity has one in the formal section, I recommend buying one of those and adding the skirt you want!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-28280953434614643332010-06-10T14:29:30.574-07:002010-06-10T14:29:30.574-07:00This is stunning!

I was thinking I could use the pattern for the top part and then just add a gathered skirt. I love this style!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152509228698416413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-85788387354653269902010-05-01T18:06:44.807-07:002010-05-01T18:06:44.807-07:00Wow.
