I've got Unique 8038 finished save the hem/buttons/buttonholes. This is the pattern that was drafted to my 'Bodyskan' measurements. Overall, it seems to fit fine out of the envelope, which is wonderful. Per Unique's recommendations, I did a basted fitting and as a result took in a tad (about 1/2") over the full bust. The garment seems short--it is described as ending 5" below the waist--so once I have it hemmed I'll check that measurement. Another other thing I've noticed is that the collar doesn't seem long enough in the front. It appears longer in the pattern picture. And finally, the illustrations did not match the instructions. In a couple of parts of the instructions the right sides and wrong sides of the fabric were incorrectly depicted.
Stretch and Sew 1745--Dh's polo work shirt is complete except for--yep--buttons and buttonholes. I've a second shirt cut out and interfaced. I'll construct it using my soon-to-arrive serger. (Yay!).
The goal is to get both of these projects finished tonight. Then I'll cut out the pants pattern I got free with my Unique Bodyskan. I'm really looking forward to reviewing the Unique patterns--there's been so much said about the company that's not-so-positive and I'm really hoping that my experience continues to be as good as it has been so far.
