Vogue V9245 jumpsuit! review

9/13/2020

 
Picture
This blog is not a review about a sewing pattern for a Chanel-Style jacket, but this review is about a pattern for a jumpsuit. A classic: the Vogue V9245! A pattern for a timeless fashion item, but unfortunately with some comments from us.

Vogue V9245
The Vogue pattern is a sewing pattern for a sleeveless jumpsuit  and  jumpsuit with sleeves. There are no further variations in sleeves, length or collars. The sewing pattern is suitable for the summer and therefore typical summer fabrics are recommended: jersey, challis and lightweight crepe fabric.

We do not understand why jersey is recommended. Jersey clearly falls under the stretchable and elastic fabrics and this pattern is not suitable for elastic fabrics.

Challis is a lightweight woven fabric, also called Rayon. This fabric might be transparent, so pay attention to that. Rayon is an ideal summer fabric because it is absorbent, feels nice and soft, but is also breathable. Also note: prewash is recommended to prevent shrinkage.

Chanel-Style:
If you want to add a 'Chanel-style touch': make the jumpsuit in the beloved Chanel colors: black, white, beige, gold or red. (see video below).
A jumpsuit can be chic if you make it in subtle colors, add beautiful trims or lace and combine it with pearls or classy jewelry.

Sewing level: very easy

The sewing pattern is suitable for the novice seamstress. We agree with this, but it is certainly not 'very' easy. The sewingpattern is very long, there is a lot of fabric involved and you can easily make mistakes by losing the overview.

Pros:
  • A nice casual looking jumpsuit
  • Easy pattern, great instructions
  • Timeless model that in principle everyone could wear

Cons:
  • Without a belt, the jumpsuit is very bulky and just too much fabric
  • The legs and sleeves are very big...
  • The sewing pattern at the cross is not correct. The front of the crotch is too long and the back too short. The result: a crotch and inner leg seams that are too far back on the legs. Really a big mistake because you cannot just fix this. You will have to adjust the sewing pattern and ask for help if you are not experienced with adjusting sewing patterns. Not a 'very easy' job.

Summarized:
Vogue V9245 is a fun sewing pattern for a timeless jumpsuit. The instructions are very comprehensive and clear. The jumpsuit is great for the summer. Nice and airy, easy to wear and if made of Rayon or travel fabrics: ideal to take with you on a trip.

However, the sewing pattern is not entirely correct in terms of the base: the cross is not correct and is too far back. You need to fix it because without doing this, the crotch will not feel good and it will be a problem if you actually sit down.
