Talking about Vogue 1312

I thought I should post this photo as to how I achieved the hemline adjustment for the dress I made this weekend.

I'm just about to make this dress, so I'm very happy to see your review. I'm most interested in how much you shortened it - it looks like four inches?

Yes, exactly! I think we're on the same page. I folded up the lower side, lower back and lower front pattern pieces. I slid the measuring tape to illustrate how the pattern piece was folded up four inches. If I unfold this pattern piece it measures eight inches longer. I only folded it up four inches. Does that make sense?  That was it, I didn't touch the skirt front or skirt back pattern pieces.

I was happy with the length with this adjustment, but whatever works for you. I'm only five-one so this worked for me.

I hope this photo did a better job explaining what I was trying to achieve in words over at Pattern Review. Apologies if I wasn't clear with the review.

Happy Sewing!
