The Flying Cholitas

[clevermanka]

And you thought you'd heard or seen it all, didn't you?

You were wrong. (SFW)

The dress for this weekend's wedding is done except for the hem and belt, which I'll do tonight. roya_spirit, the pattern went together really well. There's some weirdness with the directions for the lining (isn't there always weirdness with pattern instructions), but other than that, it comes off quite nicely. Pay attention to the garment ease measurements printed at the bust, waist, and hip, and you'll be fine. I'm very happy with it, but be careful--Those flutter sleeves are not what I'd call minimizing up top. Although it might not look so bulky in the V-neck version.

I bet I could totally pull off a Flying Cholita costume for Halloween this year. Just saying.

Oh, those pesky instructions.. how often do I ignore them!

I've worn one type of flutter sleeve that didn't flatter me at all, it had too much body to it, so I think this will definitely require a flowy fabric on me.

That's pretty wonderful - I'd go to one of those matches!

The dress looks GREAT!
