Top: meh, trousers: yay!

I usually stick to indie patterns but I’d seen a few of these cropping up on instagram and thought I’d give it a whirl. As ever with Big 4 patterns, the sizing/measurements were totally bananas. I usually wear a UK 8/10 and measured as a 12/14. I opted to make the size 12.

One of the major draws of this pattern was that it could be made with medium weight/quilting cotton and I chose one from Cotton and Steel. The neckline gaped terribly, so I narrowed the top of the bodice, and added extra diagonal darts under the arms. This helped a little but I’m not sure I would make the jumpsuit again. However, the fit on the trousers is absolutely perfect and I would definitely make just these again.
