I made the muslin for the New Girl Sew Along dress, and overall
I am happy with the fit. (Rosy your thoughts :)
The fabric I used for the muslin is left over fabric from a curtain project, and it has absolutely "no" give to it.
The fashion fabric I will use has "some" stretch so it will feel much better.
I do find the shoulder seams are too long....
...I think I prefer this look better.
Rosy, should the band be longer? It is at my natural waist.
(In the muslin my band seam doesn't match aaghh :} but it will in my garment)
The fabric I'll be using for the dress (well one of the dresses) is a fuschia
colored Fashion Suiting (63%Poly/ 32%Rayon/ 5%Spandex)
It has a nice weight and feel to it.

I do have some apple green colored fabric that would be the perfect color for this
Sew Along Dress project.....but it is a knit (poly) fabric....I bought it from Fabric Mart in 2010. Even though it is a knit, it really needs to be used for this
New Girl dress pattern!

I'm going to be very ambitious and I will make this pattern out of this
fabric too... :)
