    The fabric in your Tacara Dress is beautiful. Can’t wait to see the new version!
    P.S. i thought your Wilder Gown looked very nice on you. Your fabric choice makes it look much more sophisticated. I see it mentioned repeatedly in the sewing community but every time I take another look at it, the white, gauzey cover photo makes me think “That looks like a Grandma’s nightgown”. I got no Grandma’s nightgown vibes from yours!

    I’ve had that Pound fabric purple material in and out of my basket. You’ve convinced me to get some as it looks lovely and soft on you. Such a shame it’s too big for you. I love the red/orange fabric on you from the Wilder gown but, like you, I’m not sure about the pattern. I think it’s just too much fabric and it is overwhelming. I wonder if opening the neck up would help? Maybe belting it to give it some shape? A crossbody bag would break it up to wear out (but then what happens when you take it off?). I think it has potential but it’s one of those styles that need breaking up to avoid it being too much. Does that make sense? Can’t wait to see the Belle dress on you. I’m tempted by that one.

    • @whatbecsews

    I didn't like the Wilder Dress when I saw the pattern online. I don't think that white, very oversized, version does it any favours. I didn't expect that I would like your make, either, but I do, I love it. It looks great on you, it fits you very well, and that fabric is stunning. I love the fabric you used for your Tacara, but it does look too large. It sounds perfect for your stepmother. I look forward to seeing your next make. I fancy the Belle Dress, too, but don't know if it will suit me. I'll see how yours looks :-) Do you have a channel for your resin makes, please?

    The colours of the dress you are wearing look beautiful on you. If you find there is not quite enough fabric to remake that pattern, try extended closed darts. If you go from just below the bust to top of hip and do four darts front and back, cutting away the excess fabric and press the darts open, you can salvage what you have made and make a different more flattering shape for you.
    As for your other make, I see you with your hair in plaits, crossed to the top of your head ( and secured) and bright lippy and matching tights and boots. Try a less busy print next time you make this dress,to see if you like the design lines of the pattern before making your mind up about it. It could be the lighting is not the best in the photo, but it could be any pattern, can't really see the details. Thank you for all your content
