Side seam, zoom in and note the perfect join of sideseam and arm (ha ha full disclosure, the other side/arm join is the tiniest bit off where those four pieces meet), and the arm seam. Even those dang dashed lines are perfectly matched, yes they are. So many pins. So, so many pins.
I love this and want one for myself! If there was a ‘perfect pattern matching’ badge to be earned it would be all yours! There are so many impressive details, like that perfect line of white at the bottom of the collar or the way the sleeve stripes are perfectly matched to the body. All around, beautiful work!
I was going to comment that you’d finally made something without having to pattern match, then I read the entire post … you’re a crazy woman, in a good way I wouldn’t have thought about how the arms and sides met but you did. I should have known that you’d find something to match.
Yeah sister! You did it! Nothing wrong with appreciative pride! Extra effort deserves a pat on the back. This is very pretty but don’t think I’d want to be bothered with matching up those pattern lines. I’m sure I would have settled for an all-over, tossed pattern and would have added some embellishments. Almost time to wear that!
