The pattern is very nice and I have been working on it to make it fit me. Finally got it to fit and finished my twall. Yeah! Now to fit the sleeves.
I've made 9 concords now, front to back: Putty Cotton spandex dress, short sleeves with seam pockets (lengthened by 12" and added 12" to bottom hem, gradually from hip line), Black Bamboo Merino French Terry long sleeves, Grey/White stripe Bamboo cotton spandex with sand bamboo rayon short sleeves, Purple Bamboo Merino Jersey long sleeves, Black Upcycle of a Cotton t-shirt, Coral mid sleeve (this was my muslin), lengthened by 14" fibre unknown I use this as a nightgown, Grey/White Bamboo Cotton Spandex stripes long sleeves, Sand Bamboo rayon mid sleeves and Black bamboo rayon short sleeves. So, that's a lot of Concords. Quick to sew, just 3 pattern pieces plus bands. I've been adjusting the pattern as I go, it was really close to start with, but, a bit of narrowing at the neck, a tweak at the waist, cutting back the back armhole, adding to the front armhole, a bit of adding to the sleeve width now I'm at the optimal fit. I wear these every day, the merino ones have been great for skiing, the cotton/rayon shirts dressed up or plain. Next I'll start to create other pieces from this base (cardigans, boleros, longer dresses) and add embellishments Alabama Chanin style. All the fabrics except for the coral and the upcycle are from Water Tower Fabrics.
The Concord Tee fit is superior to any tee pattern that I have tried. It has become my knit base. In fact, as I write this, I am wearing a maxi dress hack based on the Concord Tee. Great job, Cashmerette!
I love my Concord pattern. It's easy to make, easy to hack for a million different looks, but most importantly: zero adjustments and I still get a perfect fit! No straining fabric over my (very) large bust!
I'm never buying a RTW t-shirt again.
Really enjoyed making this. I’ve only been sewing a year but it was easy to follow with a great result.
