*EXTRA NOTES FOR SEWING THE BLUE STAR TOP:* In my video at 03:27, I stated that “the long side of the rectangle is actually the width around my *_upper bust_* times a little more for the gathered design”. However, my illustration states “around *_full bust_* “. Depending on the shape of your body, you can choose to use either your full bust or your upper bust width. The rule is to choose the bigger number because we want the finished top to have the *_right_* amount of volume (aka “poofiness”). If you are choosing to make this top with cotton or linen, you may even consider multiplying the upper bust / full bust by 2.0 for an even fuller look.
Let me know which one of these babydoll style pj top is your favourite! I'm looking forward to continue building my sleepwear capsule and sharing the process with you! x 💗
They're all cute. Make one leg out of stars and one out of stripes 😉 I too wish that the stars had turned out a little better. It's the cutest design, but poorly fitted clothing is so hard to wear
Awesome video thank you so much!! For the blue star ruffle top: the longer side- should the measurement be pretty long? For example, if the bust is 32 inches I will end up cutting almost 60 for that side? Thank you!
Yay thank you! Great question! Yes, you can use the same measurements. You might even want to consider taking (width of full bust x 2.0) rather than multiplying by 1.8 for more poofiness! (also gonna add a correction as a pinned comment because there's a discrepancy between my VO and the figure...)
