I've been on this style since last summer. I was drafting and pattern hacking my own tie-front cutout pieces. So, when I saw these new patterns this year, I knew my love of this style would continue.
When I saw Vogue 9312, I knew this would be something I'd want to wear. I don't sew a lot of knits, but if it's something that works with a ponte style knit, I'm all in. That's why I picked this fabulous black and white printed ponte knit.
I cut the size 14 in the bodice. I knew from eyeballing the bodice that it would clearly need a FBA.
Here is how my 1" FBA looks.
The darts provided excellent shaping.
For the skirt, I cut the B length.
The bodice is attached to the skirt with a 3/4" seam allowance that creates a casing for 3/8" elastic.
This dress is so comfortable. It looks great with heels and just as great with a pair of flat sandals. I will definitely enjoy wearing it.
Perfect Summer dress.
