I love the Scandi chic but cannot for the life of me wear it. But this is wonderful and so much prettier than the original. Ties at the waist are not a good look for me!Evie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838980250700215736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-987386822647585472016-05-19T05:29:11.520-04:002016-05-19T05:29:11.520-04:00I love Named!

I have failed with the Wyome jeans, and I'm on the fence about the Inari tee dress (the armscye is way too low and I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe I should just use the upper part of the Scout tee and the side seams from the Inari instead of going the other way around).<br /><br />I'm not sure to what cup size they design though. I assumed (by looking at their models) that they draft for an A cup, B maximum. But for the Inari I had to do a 1"SBA to fit my AA bust.<br /><br />Anyway I love the new ideas they bring into the community, so different from the American designers.<br />My only complaint is the nesting. Between 34 and 36 that come in different files and it annoying.Roni Arbelhttp://wardrobehistology.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-59514308695083229032016-05-18T16:43:43.131-04:002016-05-18T16:43:43.131-04:00This is one of those dresses that when it works, i...This is one of those dresses that when it works, it *really* works, but when it doesn't, it's an absolute train wreck. I fall into the latter category, despite my slim hips. Glad that it will work for you--can't wait to see the final version! :-)<br /><br />Re: Topstitching. Make a few buttondowns for your husband, your father, you, or whomever. After you've made 5 or 6 of those, your topstitching will be flawless, no matter how shifty the fabric. I promise. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-88346701439402781412016-05-16T08:19:31.469-04:002016-05-16T08:19:31.469-04:00Gorgeous!

And I like it much better without the ties, myself. ;)<br /><br />I find my topstitching quality varies a lot with the fabric I choose, but also the foot I use. My fave is a stitch-in-the-ditch foot with the keel down the middle---I set my needle to the side and it works great. <br /><br />Knits are definitely on the trickier end of the spectrum. And I have found some fairly terrible topstitching on storebought knits, too. ;)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-19329037608616637042016-05-15T22:02:19.991-04:002016-05-15T22:02:19.991-04:00OOOH!

And it's going to look so different again in a drapey rayon... though I love the volume. But most of all, I'm happy you had fun sewing!Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306054198401843077noreply@blogger.com
