I have recently ventured into the world of Stretch fabrics and wanted to make a comfy Christmas dress. I made the Lotta dress in a size 3 with no adjustments in 2.5m of this polka dot bubble crepe. The fabric was ideal for the garment and worked up really well.
I liked the pattern very much – it came together very quickly so made for a satisfying sew. I found the neckband difficult but am putting this down to inexperience with stretch fabrics!
The other issue I had is that the sleeve seam being off the shoulder looks quite bulky. I’m not sure if this is an issue with my construction or the pattern, as I had the same issue on the Nora top which has a similar sleeve seam.
Otherwise I am very happy with this dress and would definitely make again! It was ideal for a comfy Christmas lunch with lots of room for pudding.
