/alice-top/ A Style Blog For Grown-up Girls Who Make Their Own Clothes: We are Velvet Swans Mon, 27 Jun 2016 10:38:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.2 /alice-top/#comment-949 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 23:23:53 +0000 /?p=1116#comment-949 Janet, I go on craft camp with a group of ladies, and one of the Tessuti girls comes sometimes, so I do have a soft spot for their patterns. There are weekends where 8 of us might have made our own version of the same Tessuti pattern and mysteriously they work on all sizes of us ladies – there is some magic in the pattern design that smooths out bumps and skims over curves without being a bag, but it’s so fascinating to see how the one pattern (there have been many) can work well on such different shapes. I have found I go down a size in their patterns with the ocassional FBA. The EVA Dress is transformative!

Lovely job & fabric choice. I honestly would never have made that top without trying one on that a friend had made. I’m a bit busty and totally agree with the maternity thing & no waist definition. I would have thought it so wrong for me, but i love it on. I love Tessuti’s patterns but find I’m between a size S-M, even though I’d buy a large in the shops.
Really looking forward to seeing this on you! 🙂
