Customer Reviews
J'ai fait ce patron 2 fois. Pour les deux cas, j'ai modifié le patron en allongeant l'empiècement élastique du dos (environ le double) afin de ne pas mettre de zip et en retaillant le devant et un peu les dessous de bras en "cœur". Le patron est très facile à comprendre et à assembler. Mes modifications étaient faciles à faire.
J'ai testé les deux méthodes d'élastiques conseillées. Il faut noter que c'était plus compliqué pour moi car l'empiècement à froncer était beaucoup plus large.
Pour la robe noire, j'ai fait des coulisses élastiques. J'ai fermé la doublure intérieure à la main. Je recommande cette méthode c'est le plus simple.
Pour la robe blanche/rose j'ai surpiqué des rubans élastiques... c'était très très difficile de les tendre au maximum et de surpiquer droit. J'ai dû demander à un tiers de m'aider et les surpiqures ne sont pas très droite. Très difficile à faire, je ne le referai pas.
Les robes finales sont magnifiques et confortables. Je suis ravie. Patron utilisé en taille 36 avec coutures côtés cousues un peu plus serrées. Jupe noire : cercle avec fronces au dos.
