The Aldaia has a neckband and it fits perfectly on the pattern pieces so it hugs your neck and keeps the front flat against your chest. Couple of things to note: I lengthened the bodice a bit and I'm not tall so check that out, and then the full skirt version is very full, I narrowed the pattern pieces a bit and you can see my skirt is still plenty full. Pauline is very petite I think, so her patterns tend in that direction. I would try it and make up just the bodice pattern pieces as a muslin to test the fit. Also it does rely on negative ease (read: a bit snug) and I like knits to not be too clingy so I added a bit at the side seams which you can always take away later. As for the Wren dress, I think they always have issues with their armholes and also a turn and stitch front on a V-neck is likely a problem waiting to happen :) good luckBeth (SunnyGal Studio)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-21895677241999215292018-02-22T09:28:02.085-08:002018-02-22T09:28:02.085-08:00Beth, a couple of questions...are you familiar wit...Beth, a couple of questions...are you familiar with the Colette Patterns Wren dress? <br />I have that pattern and was going to make one. But, the reviews on Patternreview are pretty spotty. (The front neckline is turned and hemmed and it doesn't look nice, the neckline gaps, the sleeves are not tapered, the waistline sits like an empire, even though the picture shows a lower waist.Some folks loved it and just fixed the concerns themselves...) That all concerned me because I bought a nice knit for spring and hated waste it. MY questions: How hard is it to fix a pattern for those issues- or should I just order the Aldaia pattern? Is the Aldaia dress spot on for these issues?<br />Thanks for your opinion and thoughts!<br />TextilegramTextilegramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905162208072357401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-54372291914072673742018-02-21T17:58:07.700-08:002018-02-21T17:58:07.700-08:00Beautiful dress on you Beth!

Does it have a facing or is the front band doubled?
