The skirt was harder than I expected but totally worth it- love the result!!

I used this pattern as the base of a La La Another day of sun dress. I added ruching detail and adjusted the back a little to adjust where the skirt fell. Changed the skirt for a double layer full circle with crinoline on one of the layers.

I found this pattern a little bit more confusing than most of the Jalie patterns but I watched the crossover tutorial and found it fairly easy to follow. The rest of the dress was easy to put together. I modified the skirt by adding one from a different Jalie pattern in my collection. (I love that pattern pieces from different Jalie patterns can usually be used together with minimal adjusting needed.)

I have used this pattern so many times to make dance leotards(by combining the mid and bottom as one piece and omitting skirt). The girls have to wear a black leotard to class but we can add a bit of glam to the halter or the twisted piece. This group of girls has something against sleeves on their leotards at the moment so this style is a big hit! On the twisted top I cross the straps at the back - and I find that the elastic measurement is too long for the back (size 9 10 anyway) I cut it shorter so it doesn't sag underneath their arms. Love your patterns Jalie - would love them even more if a skirtless option was included!

Made this for a really tall girl, pattern was easy to lengthen, twisted top was super simple, and looked gorgeous overall. will make again for sure!
