Pattern review: Gerties's Charm Patterns; Skipper bodysuit

 

So I made two of these rompers and I love them very much.

The pattern

Meet Barbie’s sassy little sister, Skipper! This fabulous knit pattern can be made as a bodysuit or dress. Skipper has a wide scoop neckline and the option of elasticized puff sleeves or cap sleeves. The dress option has a straight skirt that is so Bettie Page, and the bodysuit has a full-coverage bottom with a snap closure at the crotch. Even better? Skipper also interchanges with our Barbie Top pattern (Patreon, January 2021) to maximize your options with the mock turtleneck and 4 additional sleeve options (band, short, three-quarter, and long). You can also use the lower half of the Barbie Top to turn Skipper into a hip-length top.

Additional info:

• 2-20 and five bust sizes (A-H). I'll make a 16 D-DD. (Gertie''s patterns run bigger than Big 4)
• Recommended Fabrics : cotton knits
  
• very easy (my rating) not only is pattern fairly easy, Gertie provides clear written instructions as well as video's. 
• Part of Patreon.

The fabric

• ca 1,3 meter viscose knit (dark navy)
• ca 1,3 meter cotton knit (rainbow stripes)

 

Instructions

As all instructions on Patreon, this one comes with elaborate written and video instructions.

 

Fit

I made both versions an inch longer in the front and the back. After fitting the first, I added another inch in the crotch of the rainbow version.

 

Conclusion

yay happy rainbow romper.
