I love testing patterns, love to help out, and learn new techniques in sewing.
I have been testing for various designers for 2 years now. I am always searching for that perfect fit, so I can be happy with the garments I make.
I recently discovered a designer, new to me, I love her designs, "Wardobe by me". I started testing for Christina Albeck, owner and designer of Wardrobe by me, for a few months now.
You can find the 3 patterns listed in this blog, the Haute Skinny pant pattern, Mirri dress, and the Haute Skinny Skirt at, Warrobe by me on Etsy.
My first test project with Wardrobe by me was the "Haute Skinny Pants". I live in leggings because I have a hard time finding pants that fit. When I tested the Haute skinny pants, I could not believe what a perfeect fit for me. I did not have to alter the pattern at all.
The Haute skinny pants has a hidden side zipper. The black pants I made out of ponte double knit fabric. The pink and black pant I made out of a cotton/lycra, woven fabric.

The second pattern I tested for Wardrobe by me, was the Mirri dress. Again, what a fantastic fit. The only altering I did to the pattern was add an inch to the length to both the Mirri dress and top. I love this dress, very flattering, it helps hide any lumps or bumps, lol. The red Mirri dress was made out of a poly knit fabric, The pink top was also made out of a knit fabric, as too the black and white geometric design dress. The Mirri pink top is paired with the Haute Skinny Pant, a good combination, that's why their designed by Wardrobe by me, you can build a wadrobe with all her designs.

The thrid pattern I tested was the, Haute Skinny Skirt. Once again, what a fantastic fit. I did not have to alter the pattern at all. The skirt has a hidden back zipper, I used woven fabric for the side panels and a scuba knit fabric for the front and back panels. The skirt can be made without a zipper if made using all knit fabric.
Thank you Christina Albeck from Warrobe by me, for designing great flattering, well fitted, patterns in which I can build a wardrobe from................................Synthia L Gerritson
