So… this one just wasn’t quite right

I had to make a maxi version of the Penny, but once I put it on… it wasn’t what I had envisioned

I tried tapering in the side seams, which then made the hem too narrow, so had to unpick and rethink it

In the end I added waist ties to give it a bit more shape, but I’m still not totally sold on it

So… back to the drawing board and I’m making another one 😬

Is the center seam straight? Maybe doing it a bit A line on the center seam you can get more “flow” on the bottom and make the waist more pronounced? Idon’t know if that’s what you are looking for hehe

The inspiration is probably cut on the bias. In any case, the inspo is styled !

L idee est bonne mais la couture du milieu devant fait chemise de nuit dommage

I also like the original better than the altered version but you do what you think is better for you. We're all different.

You could do longer splits on side seams and then curve the hemline. Becomes a subtle feature.

Looks good both ways. Leave it alone.
