DIY V1282 Donna Karan Vogue PatternMy goal for today was to work on two totally different outfits that I plan on wearing to my sons graduation, however I came home and decided to sew up V1282 or shall I say finish it. I cut it out a month ago and sewed up the back seam a few days ago. I seen a few reviews and I agree this is a very easy pattern to sew. I haven't sewn off of a pattern in over 4 yrs and when I did sew with that pattern I had a lot of help. I'm not to sure of the sewing terminology sew it took me longer than expected to read the patter.n. I'm still not very sure I did it correctly but its finished and looks great on. I must agree that it is a little sexy (too sexy) for me so I did sew it up a little higher than what the pattern suggest. I need to redo the front because its a little off centered. Ill do that after I get off tomorrow. I also don't think I did the arm holes correctly because I pressed the life out of the this shirt and it still kinds of lay twisted around the arm area. I also added my self made pattern weights (pics below).
So with that said look at the pictures an tell me what you think...
Pattern Description: Loose-fitting, bias, pullover top has draped front neckline with weight, no side seams and stitched hem. Very close-fitting, below waist pull-on skirt has elastic waist with contrast facing, pleats, front extending to side back, no side seams and right side back slit. Self bias binding finishes hem.

Were the instructions easy to follow? I guess I really don't know its all foreign to me lol
