Next on the blog are my versions of the Body Ballota.
It's a pattern by Makesa Schnittdesign and I sewed it out of two different kind of fabrics I bought in Milan.
The left Body I sewed out of a very stretchy jersey and the right one is a lace version.
I love both of them equally but the jersey Body is a bit more fitted but also more comfortable.
The pattern explains the sewing process great and has detailled illustrations to follow every step from closing the shoulder seams to inserting the elastic at the leg openings.
When worn, the Bodys look more like normal longsleeves, but they don't slip out of the pants when you move.
The jersey Body is a colourful piece to combine with my beloved Ginger Jeans. The lace Body turns every outfit into a noble eye-catcher and fits perfectly under my cut-out dress. Both Bodys are a great addition to my wardrobe.
