entire garment

trim detail

This was created using the Simplicity pattern #8108. It's a packet of patterns for Christmas Nativity costumes, and very easy to sew. However, it is very unflattering - big fabric tubes - which is why I added the sash.

Rather than gathering the shoulders, as per the pattern directions, I pleated the shoulders together. Each pleat gathered up an inch and three-quarters of fabric, each an inch and half apart, starting two inches away from the neckline.
The bottom hem will be finished once I know who's going to be wearing the garment - and how tall they are!
