Washi Dress - Part 1

So I don't sew clothes. Too hard, too scary, too much work, too many steps. Patterns never fit me.

Cue the Made by Rae Washi Dress.

It's SO cute, maybe I'll try it. Oh, but the pattern sizes won't fit me. Pattern grading you say? What? Noooo, way too hard for me. I don't sew clothes anyway.

Or do I?

I followed the instructions on The Drapery blog and though I was skeptical, it worked like a charm. I made the test fit bodice out of an old sheet and it fit perfectly. I am cautiously optimistic that this might actually work.
