Here's what I'm supposed to have:
Here's what I've got, on its way to being a cycling dress of Dry Flex knit from FabricMart:
Even the non-sewing-inclined will immediately notice that one wing seems to be (is) inside out. But look more closely and see that one tie is attached to the inside of the dress (whichever that turns out to be) and one to the outside.
But wait--there's more!
Both wings of the dress are put together sideways! the seams between the kimono sleeves and the front and back bodice are supposed to be the shoulder seams between the front and the back of the sleeves!
Now, this is unfortunate. Especially because I did an unusually good job of matching up those pesky princess and shoulder seams. For me, anyway. And, of course, everything is serged.
*sigh*
Quality control went out the window on this one!!! Mind you, I have seen some incredible stuff-ups in RTW clothing. And a recent trend in 'young fashion' has been to sew the entire garment inside out, with the intent of showcasing the inside of the fabric print!!! So, what are your plans for this now???
ReplyDeleteFortunately it's a very loose dress. I'm going to slice it apart and try again! But not tonight. Tonight I'll go watch Project Runway.
DeleteI totally get this. A tried-n-true pattern is where I will always mess up, because I get over-confident and don't pay attention to the instructions! Good luck with the re-do.
ReplyDeleteI was so focused on getting the seams to match this time. Oh well.
Deleteahhh, you really tried to include every possible permutation... I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteI really did, didn't I? Remarkable work!
DeleteShit happens... I'm sure you will fix it!
ReplyDeleteWell that certainly took some creativity, didn't it? Looking forward to seeing the right side out version. 8-)
ReplyDeleteOh boy. That took some special effort there. You are the win.
ReplyDeleteLike ElleC, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out in the end.
Excellent work! I do believe this earns some sort of award, but it only gets to be presented by someone who has never made a sewing mistake.
ReplyDeleteAnyone?
(my personal specialty is making a goof, unpicking it, and then proceeding to make exactly the same goof again)
