Vogue 1087

I made up this pattern that was featured in Threads a couple of issues back. It made up beautifully in an inexpensive knit from JoAnne...after some major adjustments. It was the first time I really used a Vogue, and I didn't realize how terribly small they run. I had to resize the pattern pieces before I could begin. It really was pretty easy to make, but I did stitch down several areas that were supposed to be just pressed into place. It made a perfect little black dress for New Years Eve. And just like the tester said...it shows every little lump and bump. DH told me I needed a Body shaper...not a smart thing to say on his part, as I only weigh 108 lbs! Sure put a damper on HIS night...although I had a Really good time...lots of compliments from all of his buddies....LOL!
