Bri’s Turquoise Delight
Bri created a beautiful turquoise Irving that’s perfect for summer, with a skirt that she shortened by about 6.5″ (17 cm) for a more casual look. We love how she’s styled it with a cropped denim jacket and metallic platform sneakers!
Bri made her Irving in a size 14 G/H, and her measurements are 38″ (96.5 cm) high bust, 43″ (109 cm) full bust, 34″ (86 cm) waist, and 43″ (109 cm) hips. Her favorite part of the sewing process? “Burrito-ing the lining,” which gives the bodice such a clean finish.

Raquel’s Versatile Variations
Raquel has taken the Irving to new heights by creating multiple versions, experimenting with different fabrics including combining the Irving’s knit bodice with a woven skirt! As someone who hasn’t made many knit garments before, she found the Irving to be her most successful pattern yet. We love her advice to “mix it up” and get creative with this pattern!
Raquel made her Irving in a size 12 C/D, and her measurements are 34″ (86.5 cm) high bust, 36.5″ (93 cm) full bust, 36″(91.5 cm) waist, and 44″(112 cm) hips.
