NMSL ELD #203 Gallery

I made this from a nice, drapey rayon. It was tricky to cut out properly, but worked out nicely. I lowered the waistline to accommodate my long torso. I used narrower rectangles for the skirt, both to reduce fullness and to save on yardage! I made inseam pockets by following Linda's directions and am *very* pleased with the smooth look. I fully lined the overlay so I could attach it by stitching *inside* the overlay instead of topstitching; this gives it the look of a regularly-constructed princess seam (with nursing openings, of course). I combined sizes a bit, but didn't make the dress super-fitted. And the finishing touch -- a matching dress for my Darling Daughter!    (Valency)

This 203 is made of 2 coordinating flannels. I pleated the front of the skirt for a slimmer look and used bias tape instead of facings.    (Karen G.)
