Anne Klein dress V1222

Just finished this Vogue Anne Klein design from the Spring 2011 collection.


It's wasn't complicated to make, but there are over 20 pieces to it and a LOT of top stitching, so it was very time consuming.


I took the shoulders up by an inch or so as the bust detail sat below where it should have been.  See the left picture before the adjustment, and the right picture after it.

In hindsight, I should have done a proper shoulder adjustment and taken out excess fabric around the armholes, rather than just bringing up the shoulder seams, as there is a bit of fabric bunching going on when it's worn.  I might fix this one day, but for now the dress is definitely still wearable.

Here's the side paneling detail:



See what I mean about a LOT of top stitching!
