Unregistered Project Completion: Classic bolero
Project Title: Brown bolero with ivory lace
Short Project Description: A classic lolita short-sleeved brown cotton bolero trimmed with ivory lace.
Project Started: February 10th
Project Completed: February 11th
Did you discover something you would like to share? I love sewing boleros! Haha it was just such an easy project and the end result was so nice that it was a really enjoyable thing to make. I’ve already gotten amterials for the next one!
How happy are you with the result? Very, like 90%, happy. It’s not a perfect fit as I had to change the position of the bust dart from the original pattern and my finishing on the inside is a bit sloppy but it looks really nice and is comfortable and goes with a lot of my wardrobe, so I’m really pleased with it.
A picture of the completed bolero on its own…
…and as part of a coordinate!
I chatted a bit about the pattern I used (Simplicity 2183) on my blog here: http://rolisramblings.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/lolita-sewing-brown-bolero-with-ivory.html
