You may try modifying a pattern that identifies as one of those terms. I very rarely sew with patterns simply because draping is easier for me. I'm sorry that I can't offer you better advice, but I'm really glad you're thinking of making a round-gown! They are a lot of fun, and frankly, if you can make a jacket, you're WAY ahead of the game on a round-gown.Thread-Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993301657471657837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261676034084131707.post-25365933444173812112014-02-22T01:50:56.508-05:002014-02-22T01:50:56.508-05:00Am mustering up courage to tackle a round gown.

I was informed by a friend that she is *SURE* that her mother had fabric very similar to this...<br /><br />AS THE INTERIOR OF HER CAR. <br /><br />Granted, it was the 1980's and the car was some flavor of hatch-back. But this is America and things like that just aren't supposed to happen. Can you imagine driving around in that? It would be like living in an institutional cell where the walls were padded with discarded pairs of M.C. Hammer's pants.Thread-Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993301657471657837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261676034084131707.post-88869364403656785872013-01-29T04:19:28.589-05:002013-01-29T04:19:28.589-05:00You guys are seriously sweet.

If I were capable of normal human emotions, well... actually let's not go down that dark path. <br /><br />I possess phenomenally, freakishly long arms, but alas, this is just too much dress to solo-photograph while I'm in it. Headless June's bazooms keep the gown from closing properly on the dress-form, and most of the interior shots I took from the front were *really* dark and grainy anyway. (It was night. I could tell because I was awake.)<br /><br />So for your picture-viewing pleasure, I promise to get gussied up and trot around in my yard this weekend, or sooner if I can bully someone into cooperation.<br /><br />Thread-Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993301657471657837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261676034084131707.post-78401566954136907572013-01-28T23:25:27.751-05:002013-01-28T23:25:27.751-05:00I am far too lazy to make anything half so beautif...I am far too lazy to make anything half so beautiful.

It's a good thing I don't know where you live or I'd come steal this dress, not withstanding I'm too fat to fit in it and would have to adoringly ogle it in the corner of my bedroom, oh well. It's gooorgeous...both the fabric and the construction...amazing job! And I'm overjoyed (horrified?) to see the mock-up fabric rear its multicolored head again. I'm pretty sure it was designed by Picasso during his little-known days on crack.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095426164654110973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261676034084131707.post-30112380730315702742013-01-28T02:54:19.512-05:002013-01-28T02:54:19.512-05:00Looks great!
