Personally I think this pattern (as presented) would only work for a young woman with a young girl figure. That said I am anxious to see how the mature women contestants adapt and create their garments as this will surely be a challenge!
wow that is going to be quite a challenge. The ladies are all different shapes and sizes and this style really won't work on all of them as is. I look forward to seeing how the clever sewists adapt this pattern/style to work for them. some larger ladies may find this one harder to pull off than those who can wear a waisted style which has a definite 'young' look to it.
I think this contest challenge is a great idea, however this dress pattern for challenge #2 is a poor choice IMHO. The dress is geared for a young woman or girl not a mature woman. I am only glad that you have the wisdom to allow for contestants to change/alter the pattern as presented. I'm anxious to see what these talented woman produce.
We choose this pattern as a challenge. We want to see how the older women make this piece more mature and how they alter it to fit them. It was not meant to be easy!
I look forward to seeing the results…. I would love to see how it is manipulated for the mature woman.
