Mission Maxi
Size Alterations: I cut a size 16 (chosen by my high bust measurement) then made a that’ll-do style of FBA, i.e. I fudged it from a few different tutorials on the interwebs. I didn’t want a side seam bust dart as this is jersey so rather than sew the one created by the FBA I just eased the excess into the back pieces at the side seams. To my great surprise it actually worked!
The Fabric: Oh this fabric! It was lust at first sight. I’d already found a nice classic navy at a previous shop when I spied this origami paper style print at Classic Textiles on Goldhawk Road and to make it even better it was only £3.50 per metre and is super soft.
Time to Make: So fast, I cut out the night before then sewed it together in an hour or two the next morning.
New Skills: Attatching a knit binding – the instructions are awesome for this.
‘scuse the scrunched up face – the glare was out of control!
First Worn: On holiday back home and many times since.
