FAIL: Vogue 1151 Dress

Pattern: Vogue 1151 Dress
Fabric: Stretch matte jersey from fabric.com

There are just too many "wrinkles" on this dress! I should've used a more stable knit... this fabric was too thin and had a little more stretch than I needed.


I tried to finish it by just chugging through it, but I know I won't wear it. All that was left was the hem and slip stitching of the collar. I think the fabric choice was the cause of failure in this dress... and the fact that I probably stretched the fabric will trying to neatly sew the curves and darts... but it's just easier to blame the fabric. =P I really like the style and may give it another go when the right fabric comes along but for now... I don't know what I'm going to do with it.


What do you think? Is there any hope in this dress? I've already resewn all the seams to try to make it less wrinkly, and the drag lines are much worse when it's worn, too. I'm not sure if the lines stand out but they're mainly near the darts in the middle sections as well as the armholes. There are also shiny iron markings on the collar. Oh well... at least it was only a loss of about $5.


Bye bye... dress!
