Otome no sewing 6 under bust jsk review (daisy jsk)

This is my first time using a Japanese sewing pattern, I made size large which fit me plenty at a 36 inch bust and 29 inch waist. There is no seam allowance so I added it to the pattern.

 

This is the pattern I used. There are a ton of directions including measurements to cut out the skirt. There is a ton of photos I was able to piece it together easy with no Japanese skills.

I used wax paper to trace the patterns, since there are multipul ones on the page. You will need wax paper, tape (for large pattern pieces) weights, permanent marker, and scissors. 

I used a hat for a example since I only took photos for that. The bottom number is how many pieces you need from the pattern, squares and rectangles will have to be drafted by yourself. Above that number is the cutting guide it will be red or black with x's or o's, fully shaded or just a line.

The numbers above the photo of the clothing is to help you find it on the pattern sheet like a map, they are generally set close to each other. (Above photo)

Then I just started cutting out my fabric and followed the photos.

Added ribbons for a lace up top

Sew along arms and neck holes then cut notches.

Turn inside out and press

Trying to figure out where I want lace and pockets

I added all the lace and did them hem, sewed skirt to top and lastly put in the zipper.

Finished photos! 

It took me a full day to make since it was my first time with this pattern, I really like how it came out and I think it's very versatile pattern, it was only 7 pieces so it was easy to sew.

I would use this over and over its a really great pattern. The headpiece is from otome no sewing 8.
