Lady Nettie: Servant of teachers and others who long for comfort
As you can tell by my face in this picture, I'm quite happy with my latest make! As soon as I spotted this matte jersey fabric at Pauli, I knew it would become another lady skater/nettie mash-up.
I was a bit more creative than last time and managed to come up with a proper name for this mash-up: Lady Nettie. As in: Lady Nettie, servant of teachers and others who long for comfort (and want to look a tad stylish while going about their day)
Details
- fabric: Pauli, matte jersey
- pattern: Closet Case Files – Nettie bodysuit&dress for the bodice + KitschyCoo's Lady Skater for the skirt.
- Size: 12 (bust) 6 (waist), medium for skirt part.
- variation: scoop neck, medium back, short sleeves
Flat Pattern Adjustments
- added 4 cm to the back neckline to make layering easier
- added 2 cm to the scoop front for modesty reasons
- added a waistband that hits me right at the waist. I always feel like this type of dresses need either a belt or a waistband, and or ultimate comfort I opted for the waistband.
It might be just me, but I think this dress looks so good on me. I always consider it a win when dresses make you look good + feel amazing and are comfortable at the same time. That might be one of the biggest achievements when sewing for yourself: the amount of well fitting clothes you get that actually make you look good. YAY!
