Pattern review: Gertie's charm patterns; Stanwyck bodice
I think I will have to make some fitting adjustments to this bodice.
The pattern
This
chic cap-sleeve bodice coordinates perfectly with the skirt so you can
make a wardrobe of fabulous dresses as well. Add the removable collar
for even more options. The bodice is fully lined without facings for a
clean finish
Additional info:
- 2-20yo (US but they are larger than the big 4), I use the size 16 (normaly an 22)
- Bustsize A-H (for a total of 5 sizes) I will use a D/DD
- Recommended fabrics: light to medium wovens
- not rated, but instructions are sufficient and tutorials are online
- Stanwyck skirt pattern for sale on charmpatterns
- This bodice expansion is for Patreon only (a kind of subscription)
- ca 1,2 meter cotton
- ca 0,8 meter lining
Instructions:
Gertie has sufficient written instructions for her patterns. As this specific pattern was for her Patreon folowers, she also made an elaborate video tutorial.Fit:
Ai, there are 10 'regular' sizes and 5 bust sizes. I think I made my size and it fits around the bust well, but is is a bit big in the shoulders. That is a problem I sometimes have, so perhaps next time I'll make a dart in the shoulders as well.
Conclusion
Shoulda made a muslin first, but I still like it.
