Liberty Summer Halter Jumpsuit

 Well, I fell again!

I saw this Liberty fabric online, and I started to have fantasies in my head about a sleeveless jumpsuit, just perfect for this wonderful parsley. 

I looked throughout all my pattern magazines, I remembered one jumpsuit I made 25 years ago, haha... but I could not find it, because I am no keeper, and one day I threw all my old pattern magazines away, keeping only the best and most modern ones. No regrets!

I went online and finally found the perfect pattern in BurdaStyle online. It is a pity you cannot see the number in which it was published until you buy the pattern... I could have found the issue in my library... any ways, it was quite cheap, €5.... but i had to print it, assemble it, and then trace it. I prefer to just trace it, but this was the only way.

It was wonderful to sew with Liberty cotton, as usual, and I enjoyed the make quite a lot. The only necessary modification was the width of the pants, I took 2 cm off the outer and inner seams, a total of 8 cm by leg! Now I think it is the perfect width. Burda is always a sure bet. 

It is a lovely make, very comfortable for really hot weather, but I have to have a nice tanned back to wear it, so better for middle or late summer. Being a tight jumpsuit, it is quite forgiving of my inverted waistline or my tummy. And it has pockets!

I was only able to wear it once in Sitges, now it is too cold already... see you next summer!
