Oh look at this pretty dress I got to test from Itch to Stitch! It is the new Antrim dress.
I like the cross-over bodice style and swing-y skirt style. It is both feminine and fun.There were lots of different body shapes in the the test group and this one looked cute on all of us!
One of my favorite features is POCKETS! Who doesn't love pockets? The directions were easy to read, and the fit of the pattern is spot on. If you aren't aware, Itch to Stitch has cup sizes which makes fitting the bodice so much easier. It also comes in a huge range of sizes- 00-40.The drafting on ITS patterns is excellent. The pattern pieces all fit together great. My muslin was a gray poly cotton knit that sewed up nicely with the jersey needle I used. This blue mystery knit and my jersey needle did not play nicely together, so really was wishing for a stretch needle! Unfortunately, stretch needle broke and I had failed to replace. it. (sad face)
This dress is so cute and comfy I wore it to my niece's wedding over the weekend. I hope to make some more of these soon. The price is reduced for a short period of time, so get your Antrim while it is on sale!
