Looking for a pattern appropriate for Chinese Nutcracker costume
lauriem76 Member since 8/27/12 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/3/12 8:54 AM I am trying to find a pattern for a mandarin jacket that is a bit more fitted than the typical look. It is for a dancer on pointe, and I would prefer her to have a sleeker, slimmer line than the costume we currently have, which is that sort of pajama top style (for lack of a better word). Anyone know of any?

Jalie 2800 The line drawings will give you a clearer view of the pattern. ------ Sheila "sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet" 2012/2013 Stash Busting Sew-Along: 33.625 yards sewn (as of 05/31/13) 21.75 yards purchased (as of 05/31/13)

There are quite a few snug tops like the Jalie pattern, usually in combinations with pants. I notice a bit of a tendency to wear Siamese-ish costumes for this dance, too. -- Edited on 12/4/12 2:47 AM --

The lead had a mushroom cap thing going.
