I swear to you, neoprene is the shit!!! It’s that one fail proof textile that you can sew-up into the perfect fit. If I find myself needing to make a quick fitted dress or skirt with little to no alterations, neoprene is where I land.
Let’s not even mention that fact neoprene has come a long way in terms of design choices, and weight. This neoprene from Mood Fabrics is a medium weight and very flexible and soft. Who would have imagined incorporating to of my favorite things……….plaid and neoprene!
Here are my top neoprene picks for the perfect fitting dress:
This dress was made using the bodice to McCalls M5927 with the following alterations:
-Added 1/2# to the height of the neck
-Removed 2″ from the width of the sleeve cap
-Added a 3″ slit at the wrist
Used this self drafted skirt with the following alterations:
-Removed the waist band
-Added a back slit
- Dress-DIY
- Heels-Sergio Rossi
- Waist bag- DIY pattern available here
This is absolutely breathtaking! I hope you have plans to do more pattern hauls on YouTube. I loved all of your previous ones. And, your taste and style are impeccable.
