Inspiration came from the Durban Jumpsuit pattern from Megan Nielsen.
In a trip to Zaragoza this summer, we visited a fabric shop in the centre and I bought a couple of fabrics, this being one. This is a wonderful linen and viscose mix that immediately called to me for the Durban reproduction.
I chose a jumpsuit from BurdaStyle magazine to start, with the following modifications:
- Close the armscye to make it sleeveless.
- Cutting the centre front and adding a button and buttonholes packet from the neck opening to the crotch.
- I planned to leave the waist darts open to get that loose effect of the Durban, but then decided to leave them closed and fitted to my non-existing waist.
This neck is far better than the Liberty, which I screwed, and this crotch was lower, although 2 cm higher than the Burda Pattern.
When I tried it on, it was lovely with darts, so I decided to leave them closed. It looked great, but it was itchy as hell. I have very sensitive skin for itchy fabrics.
That day, I went to sleep with that problem in mind, and I decided it had to be lined. A soft back viscose lining fabric would be made to function as facing in armholes, neck and front opening. I made the lining with short legs.
It's a great piece to go to work. Comfortable, elegant and suiting to my figure. I love it with my Sewdish Hasbeens. I am in love with my Swedinsh Hasbeens.
