Jasika Nicole Instagram – Another #helenawrapdress by @just_patterns in animal print rayon from @lafinchfabrics_new and a #marjorieslingbag by @heyjunehandmade in spotted leather from a local shop plus memade clogs to make round out this *last dregs of summer fit check* (though who am I kidding- it will be hot in LA til November 🥵). I am in love with the silhouette and ease of wear of this dress which is why I made it twice, but I think the instructions are unnecessarily tricky and so are a few of the pattern pieces- the explanation for making the waistband is pretty confusing and I thought it was because the first time I made it years ago I might have been tired or something, but this time around I got stumped by the exact same things! Wouldn’t recommend this to a confident beginner but it was definitely worth the trouble for how beautifully it came out- I lengthened the dress several inches to make it a maxi and otherwise made no mods. I’m on the fence about what to make next- I have one last warm weather jumpsuit on my roster and not sure if I should wait til next year or squeeze her in now, as I have *several* fall/winter pieces I’m excited about too! Love being overwhelmed by inspiration and ideas-I know that wherever I end up will be great 🥰 | Posted on 26/Sep/2023 04:58:45
