I like View 4, the print with a contrast bias trim and View 3, the solid version with facings. After much thought, I have decided to go with a black solid for the body and am on the fence about bias trim or facings. I have chosen to use black linen for an understated look.
I like the idea of the print, but a print jumpsuit reminds me too much of my days as a professional clown (Yes, I used to be a clown, complete with a wooly red wig). I want to see how the solid version looks before getting too adventurous with a print.
Stay tuned to see how it all works out!
Happy Sewing,
Bianca
Professional clown?! Brilliant! Pictures please. You are braver then I my friend. Those cut outs are perfectly placed to show off my flabby bits. Can't wait to see the finish.

Nine years on stages and for parties in high school and college! I even toured, oh the tales my red nose could tell! I don't have the self-confidence to share those photos, maybe some day...
DeleteI will see how brave I am with this dress. My flabby bits are usually in front, so I am hoping. This may be the first candidate for "Failure Friday!" ;p
I realized too late that I forgot the thread in your package! So sorry.
I love the clown stint. So much more to learn about you-really great. No worries about the thread, I had some on hand and am having fun hand sewing it now, hopefully in time for "Success Saturday". ;)
DeleteWow I'm making a jump suit, but I simply love, love, love this vintage version. I can't wait to see how it comes out!
