What In the Folds size do you wear? Size A
What bust cup size do you normally make / wear? A cup
Which pattern did you use? Peppermint jumpsuit
What type of fabric did you make the garment/s from? cotton lawn
What alterations (if any) did you make to the pattern/s? I made this for my 11 year old daughter for her leaving primary school disco in a size A. I barely scraped it out of a 2m length. I made it in a size A but she found it too baggy round the wait hips so I took it in by an inch and a half from the arm hole down to the legs.
What would be your top tip for other makers using this pattern/s? Make sure you use a non-directional print to make efficient use of the fabric and check you waist length against the pattern pieces. My 11 year old is not fully grown but if she had been I would have needed to increase the length of the bodice to make sure she could sit down in the jumpsuit!
