From Sewing Therapy:
When beginning your sewing journey, inevitably there are garments that become designated indoor outfits (“infits”) rather than the stylish outfit you envisioned wearing out. I designed this pattern, hoping to create a successful ‘infit’ that evolves into a fantastic ‘outfit’.
Drafted with the novice sewist in mind, this pattern has stripped away complexities such as inseam pockets, neck closures, sleeve cuffs, and side slits, so you can concentrate on mastering the essentials. This pattern still includes vital garment sewing skills like neck facing, patch pockets, and elastic sleeves, allowing you the opportunity to increase the depth and proficiency of your sewing repertoire.
For those with intermediate or advanced sewing skills, INFIT is a canvas awaiting your artistic touch. Modify and personalize it according to your preferences, unleashing your creativity to shape each piece into a unique reflection of your style.
INFIT’s distinctive charm lies in the oversized bodice and sleeves, coupled with sleeve wings. I came up with the sleeve wing piece to make the process of sewing the rectangular adjustable sleeves easier. The triangle addition adds angles to the underarm, making the process smoother while enhancing the overall aesthetic. Incorporating sleeve wings with a contrasting fabric further contributes to the INFIT’s unique appearance, elevating it beyond the basic garment.
Recommended Fabrics: The selection of fabric for your Infit Dress is contingent upon the desired characteristics and style of the garment. While I present various fabric options, I advise against overly structured fabrics for this oversized design, as it may create an immoderately bulky appearance.
