Lady Skater in a Pink and Purple Ethnic Ponte de Roma
I have made many Kitschy Coo Lady Skaters and this is the latest. I cut this out several weeks ago and finally got around to sewing it up last Friday.
I love this pattern so much. To call it TNT would be a huge understatement. It's my Go To dress, especially if I only have 2 yards of a fabric.
I had heard that making it in Ponte de Roma makes a very nice draping version and I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out. I have a couple more ponte fabrics that are destined to be new Lady Skaters.
After I made my first version, I shortened the bodice by an inch and made the shoulders a bit more narrow, but those are the only alterations I did to the pattern that I have used over and over. Oh, except adding pockets, of course. I use the pocket piece from my Colette Moneta to make in-seam pockets and place them 4 inches down from the top of the skirt piece.
This dress is a fast make and I can practically do it with my eyes closed by now. But I love how the fit and flare style looks on my body, so I'm always happy to have another to add to my wardrobe.
