Successful as usual

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.)

Makes Beautiful Leotards!

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!

Perfect!

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!

Love it!

I made view B with the halter top last night and found it went together really easily and i love the look. I haven't tried it on the girl it's for yet, but it looks great on my dummy. I have found like Jinnie that I often make the skirts on Jalie patterns wider as they are a bit fitted for my taste. This one I made unaltered, but i don't think the dance involves too much upside down work, so shouldn't be a problem. I also left the bottom flat skirt piece out (so the bottom of my skirt is just a frill) which should help.

TWISTED TOP

twisted top not easy to follow, looks like some of the instructions are missing. quite disapointed really......

**Answer from Jalie**
We are sorry that you had trouble making the twist-front dress. We added pictures of the twist front construction on our blog to make it easier to understand. We hope it helps! http://jaliesewingpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/02/3028-twist-front-assembly.html

MINOR CHANGES

I FOUND THE PATTERN FAIRLY EASY AND IT TURNED OUT VERY CUTE. I DID HAVE TO ALTER IT SLIGHTLY. WHEN I MADE THE SKIRT BASED ON MY DAUGHTER'S MEASUREMENTS IT FIT, BUT WAS FITTED SO THAT IT WOULD NOT FALL BACK DOWN IF SHE FLIPPED OR DID AN ILLUSION. I ENDED UP MAKING THE COSTUME BASED ON MEASUREMENTS EXCEPT THE SKIRT WHICH WAS FOUR SIZES BIGGER...STILL LOVE IT THOUGH!
