The patters is Sunshine Dress from Patterns For Pirates
The pattern has 3 different bodice styles. The one pictures, the halter top, is what I made. I made a long version, and I made the skirt be more A-line, with less gathers. So I measures the circumference of the lower bodice edge (front and back separately -they are different numbers)). Used those numbers as how wide to cut my skirts at the waist (plus 1" each piece)- but angles out the entire length of the skirt.
I was able to match up the skirt pieces to have hands sticking out of my pockets!
Be Careful not to have hands or mouth bones on 'the girls', though!
AWKWARD!
I use this see-through-grid patterns tracing fabric from JoAnns. I can see where the bones will be on the pieces,
I got rib placement on my back and pelvic bone placement close to my pelvis....
... but ended up with a hand on my bum, still.
The cute cropped cardigan? Also from Patterns 4 Pirates . The Cocoon Cardigan.
The fabric for both dress and bolero-style cardigan are from SO SEW ENGLISH
