Hideous. Just hideous. See for yourself.

The hanger shot. Should I say more?
I chose this fabric because I have tons of it and it is too hideous to wear. That made it perfect for a trial run of Vogue 1859. So actually, this is working out quite nicely. I am pleased so far. This is not fabric I am going to cry over. The goal was to find out what pattern alterations might be needed for the REAL version of this pattern.
I’m almost done. Finish the arm bands, baste in a zipper, decide on a hem length, etc.
I’m picturing a real version in navy blue linen.
More to come. In the meantime, ponder this photo.

I love the pattern sales at Vogue. This latest haul just arrived. Thirty six of them!
Thanks for stopping by. More to come.
