RE: Sewing a Japanese wrap-dress… and some complications
Hi, @neumannsalva. I've just seen your post. The hair looks great - it reminds me to give mine a trim :D
I like the fabric but I personally would shorten it a bit if you are planning to wear it soonish as it may be a bit warm. I'm not sure about the draping though... what was the recommended fabric type?
If it's to be worn during colder weather (as the fabric is stiff), then you could leave it as it is. It will be lovely and warm with a cardigan or short jacket :D
I actually made a similar mistake recently with a sleeve and as a result I've now got to cut another sleeve because I can't be bother to unpick it :D I shall show it to you when I find it - I also threw a tantrum ;D
lalala ... the recommended fabric was linen 😄😄 But, as linen is never on sale in the store near me, I thought why not take denim (I guess, in reality I thought not too much) And after all the feedback, I will shorten the dress instead of killing it.
And with the sleeves... sigh... my problem is that I have no spatial imagination, and this is no coquetry. I cannot visualize how things will fit together in sewing. Sometimes I try it out with paper beforehand... to spare me the ripping. Thankfully the stiff fabric is easy to unpick, so less hate on my side, or I already burned the emotions away while trying to turn the straps inside out 😆
I hope you have enough fabric to rescue your project. And I am curious what you are sewing.
With my hair: I told the hairdresser to only shorten it a little bit and she got carried away 😱 But as I at most go one time per year to a hairdresser, it's ok. Nevertheless, thank you so much for the compliments - I need them 😆
