Orchid velour v1923

This is the first bodysuit I’ve sewn, plus my first time working with a velvety nap. It actually wasn't hard, thanks to the stretchy velour being pretty forgiving. The hardest part was choosing which direction to place the nap/pile, and I went with the nap pointing up because the color was prettier and much more saturated. I used bamboo cotton velour from Nature's Fabrics. They have lots of color options, and it's nice having a more natural option for velour!

I love the style of this bodysuit! As for the pattern itself, there were some drafting and/or fit issues. I found the sleeves much too loose starting mid-bicep, and there wasn't nearly enough coverage for my full butt. The other big error was that the crotch gusset area wasn't long enough to actually extend through the crotch without an extreme wedgie, yet the crotch area was also SO wide. I dunno about you, but as a smallfat person, my thighs are always touching, and I think it would take some special modifications to have a thigh gap as wide as this pattern wanted! So I had to change the pattern pieces a lot at the bottom half. Besides those issues, it was a pretty straightforward project!

Modifications

-reduced the sleeve seams due to bagginess, starting at mid-bicep down to wrist. Total of 3” removed at the wrist. Needs more for a bit of negative ease (currently it's slightly positive ease)
-added more hip and butt coverage, about 2.5” fuller coverage than the largest size (26)
-added 1.5” to the back crotch length due to fuller coverage and low full butt. Needs more like 4" added in actuality./
-The leg facing directions were a bit weird, leaving raw seams at the leg openings. I didn’t like that, especially since velour sheds, so I sewed the facing like bias tape, folded inside, and then zigzagged it in place.
-added some invisible tacking in some areas to keep the shoulder folds in place
