I was lucky to try this new pattern from Alice & Co.
It is called Lavender Robe and I am a tester before the pattern is published.
I always wanted to have a robe inspired jacket and Now I have one ;)
What size did you make?
I made UK6 for this design since this will provide some room for my fit and it was perfect !
How do you like the pattern's fit? Do you think the design works well for your particular body shape?
This is a Robe. so there isn’t much to comment about the fit. It fits well in general. Not too baggy or too tight.
What fabric did you use?
Suiting , 62" wide.
I bought it from the Leicester local market. I don't know the details, but It is very good quality.
what adjustments did you make and how long did they take?
I did not amend anything since it was for the pattern tester.
It took around a day to finish from cutting to sewing. It is easy to cut & sew so this will be perfect for a sewing beginner
Did the instructions make sense to you?
Yes! It was easy to follow. :)
Robe is one of the easy garments to sew! But not only about the sewing, it is an ongoing trend too.
what was the construction process like?
They want me to try a french seam finish for every area so i tried but my fabric was bit thick for some parts like the armhole. so i had to finish with an overlock only for that part. beside that, it was fun to try the french seams.
Will you make the pattern again? If so, what fit or design changes will you make?
I will definitely try this pattern again but i might make it longer, maybe mid-calf length. and i will still try a french seam finish for the next one as well. It just looks so nice and fancy! hahaha.
