wool gauze singlet

Beetroot wool gauze.

Slippery and prone to fraying quickly after it's cut.

In hindsight I wished I'd used 'french seams'.

I used pinking shears and zigzag instead.

The bias binding kept loosing its shape and needed to be re-cut much wider.

But it drapes beautifully and is slightly transparent which is elegant and cool to wear.

It has pretty gathers through the front and simple neat shoulder seams.

I adapted the pattern by shortening it to just below the waist with a curved hem.

Adapted from this dress pattern form my favourite Japanese sewing book.
