#frocktober day 2 – brand new Lady Skater made by me!

Lady Skater dress

#2 is the Lady Skater from Kitschy Coo. I made this in about 24 hours. The fabric is a fine knit (possibly merino?) with some elastane in it. I was worried the bodice would be too see-through, so I self-lined it. (The skirt and the sleeves aren’t lined though.) I didn’t do any mods, but next time I will definitely be shortening the bodice by a couple of inches. As it is, the waist seam is hitting me right at my navel. I also have a bit of fabric pooling at the back, so a swayback adjustment may also be in my future. But hey, it’s wearable and it counts!


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
