It really is! Its a lovely silhouette, but I'm glad i made this wearable version first to allow me to spot them last fit preferences before i commited that much material.
Thank you for facing tutorial. I have collecting all info I need for a vintage draft at home pattern. That does not have facing. One step more to finished garment.
I've seen this pattern on another channel and was tempted but the amount of fabric put me off. Lining just the bodice with a sturdier fabric might help with the weight of the skirt
Yes great idea, that is my usual lining choice. I have been wearing the dress since i completed the video and the waistband seems to have settled into a more level shape. I would definitely recommend doing as you suggest or reinforcing the waistband with another technique on making this though.
