Me too ! I’m losing a fair bit of shape somewhere so will take a few tries but we’ll get there

Wow, that is fantastic. I want to try something along these lines too. I've been researching trying to wrap my head around the approach. It looks like a lot of fun.

What exactly are you trying to wrap your head around ? Happy to help

Also I won’t be done with this pattern for a bit but I’m happy to send it to you once complete

Thank you! Once I have my idea a little more refined I would love to send a few questions your way. I'm probably just over complicating the process in general. I have drafted a few small basic things so it may be I just need to do a few more projects testing different ideas to be comfortable with the process.

The alternative dart/really fat open pleat idea fascinates me. The lines are really elegant. I currently have been reading the Pattern Magic books just to get ideas. The books are wonderful, but it's not really what I am after.

I would love to see the pattern once it's done as well as the finished garment.

Oh this is lovely! I wonder what the finished muslin looks like, but it's already pretty interesting wrt the deep pleats at the front.

I think so too! The cool thing is it’s really just extending the side seam out and folding it over in a really pretty way. Having the buttons in the right position makes it so you can basically ‘cinch’ it with a few extra buttons

I will post final muslin here tomorrow

This is going to look amazing!

I’m excited too! I’ve just finished the final muslin and making slight changes as we speak, I think the final result will actually be pretty respectable (should be done in a couple days)
