We omitted the lining of the dress and left out the hem, as our style is to leave the edges raw. The extra length comes from this. We hope this helps!

Is the extra length only in the hem? It looks incredibly flattering. Thanks!

You can translate our fabric into any pattern. Some adjustments may have to be made on a case by case basis. Our experience when translating the Vogue patterns into Alabama Chanin style has been successful. We haven’t run across any complications or problems, and think the final garments are as fitting as they are beautiful!

I love it and have often thought about making a more casual version (mine was made of silk tafetta). I’ll keep this one in mind.

I just love these designer pattern inspiration posts.

I have been wondering…can you take any pattern intended for woven material and make it with the jersey?
Thanks!

I have wanted to try using your techniques to make a jacket to go over the other pieces ive made. This really inspires me. Is there something specific to look for in a pattern?
