After a very positive initial experience of the Vogue patterns<\/strong> (see my articles about the V8630 dress here<\/a> and here<\/a>), I continued my exploration of their Custom Fit collection with their V9327 dress: perfect for the winter with its high-collar, its long cuffed sleeves and its midi circle skirt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These beautiful details<\/strong> really appealed to me – and they look exactly the same in real life as on the drawing!<\/p>\n

As I explained previously, being a UK size 8 with an E-cup, FBAs are my worst nightmare; and the Vogue Custom Fit collection is my latest best find, with its 4 cup options (D is perfect for my E).<\/p>\n

Although my measurements indicate a 12 top\/ 14 bottom in Vogue, I decided to cut a 10 as I had eventually done with my two previous Vogue dresses (from reading other reviews of the Vogue patterns, it seems to be quite a common thing). I made a muslin to check the fit of the top and the sleeves and appart from adding 1cm ease at the underarm (quite a common adjustment for me, disregarding the pattern brand), I MADE NO FITTING ADJUSTMENT WHATSOEVER!<\/strong> How good is that?<\/p>\n

The only change I made was to fully line the dress<\/strong>. The pattern only indicates how to line the top, but adding a skirt is pretty straightforward – and there was no way I was having an unlined wool dress!<\/p>\n

The fabric I used is 100% wool suiting fabric<\/strong> from Crofmill<\/a>, my go-to online shop when I want rather classical high-quality fabric at a discount – this one was \u00a315\/m, very reasonable for such nice wool! The pattern needs quite a lot of fabric though, due to the big skirt – the enveloppe said 3.5m, I used 3m. The fabric is black with very fine lines of blue and silver, a beauty!<\/p>\n

As with my other Vogue experience, the instructions were crystal-clear; and the final dress looked perfectly like the enveloppe drawing, so absolutely no surprise<\/strong> here. I am very pleased with how this dress turned-out and it is so warm and cosy I am sure I will get a lot of wear out of it – plus it is a perfect match with my new favourite winter jacket! ( this one is not handmade I\u2019m afraid…)<\/p>\n
