Note No major incidents during the project, apart from an unclear front neck line: they say to make a slight ruffle, no indication of width. If I align it with the given bias length to use it's so tight it makes a V-neck. If I allow the extra 5cm of bias to cut, it's so wide it's gaping and hanging outwards. So I settled for 2,5 cm of the extra bias and it looks kind of like on the tech drawing.
Also I found the size/shape quite wide (and this cannot be a sizing issue, since Lekala make a bespoke pattern to your exact measurements). It looks like a maternity dress somehow, so I remade the skirt into a narrower A-line skirt.
Finally I find the flounce somewhat too bombastic, maybe my fabric should have been more fluid? I might re-sew it narrower some day.

    robe sympa

    Your adaptation is gorgeous.
    I am assuming a very floaty fabric would be needed, like a chiffon, to go with the original design

    Definitely better with the narrower skirt :)
    Vague instructions are annoying, but you seem to have solved the neckline mystery very well, nice job!
