Lady Nettie: Servant of teachers and others who long for comfort

lady nettie front view 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) lady nettie back view Details

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.

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! lady nettie side view
