Notes I make a wearable toile in viscose to test the fit of this before I make the main dress. Because I want to use a cotton silk voile fabric with silk pongé underlining so I want to test the fit before I cut into it:)
It seems quite good but I might need 1 cm more in bust next time if I want to wear that with a bra. In the waist I could take in a couple of cms but it is mostly on also to leave it more comfortable there so I can eat. I ended up adding an elastic waist to the back only to make it more flattering.
I made loops with 2.5 mm large round elastic « thread « 

I recommend the pattern, it fits very well for the measurements I inserted! I will make a second and third one…

    Thank you for your nice comments on 2398.
    Yes I find working with viscose is particularly tricky. I am trying some new techniques for that but no magic so far. I bought a starch spray that I yet to try. It is water soluble. I will let you know how it is.

    Leuk je uitleg van de jurk en staat je goed. Vind je viscose stof ook lastig om mee te werken......ik vind het altijd zo glibberig maar is zo fijn om te dragen.
