Now I will admit that I normally shorten my sleeves on almost every pattern I sew, and I forgot to do that on this one. But even my normal 1/2"to 3/4"alteration would have these sleeves covering my hands.
Another odd thing is that this dress feels like it was designed to have shoulder pads - yet none are called for. I don't have broad shoulders (lucky you if you do!) so I plan on trying a small shoulder pad to see if it helps the shoulder line.
Other than that I'm liking the dress.
Stay tuned as I'm really close to finally finishing this one.

This looks lovely! The sleeves on the model look a bit long - perhaps this is a "trend"?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing yours. I love patterns with lots of seam detail.
ReplyDeleteIf you have narrow shoulders you will get extra length in raglan sleeves. I love the color you chose!
ReplyDeleteHeh, that pattern would probably work really well for me-- I usually have to add length to every long-sleeved pattern that I do!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color, but so funny about the sleeves! At least it is easy to fix!
ReplyDeletehmm..those *are* long. The model looks s though she is wearing shoulder pads. This dress will be amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Mary - definitely needs shoulder pads. Love the color! Thank you for your kind comment on my blog the other day :-)

The dress is beautiful, and I love that color. Maybe you can make a furrowed on the outside of the sleeves, this is just a touch of fun if you do not want to cut them. Looking ahead ....
