When I was approached to review the Hana Pattern, the first question I asked myself was “Will this fit my current mood board?” Luckily for me, most patterns can be modified or made in various material to change its ethos. Also lucky for me, the Hana Pattern didn’t need much.
I was drawn to the wrap style bodice of the Hana. It is all about the details! Specifically in the waist shaping. Sure it has multiple skirt and sleeve lengths (which I love for options), but what attracted me most to this pattern was the waist belt. The waist itself is brought in with multiple pleats- changing direction to form this perfect “puffs” of fabric- the pleats since at the waist and eventuate the bust, in the most appealing way. The skirt is affixed to the bodice top with a faux belt (think of it as your waistband), with skillfully added interior ties as well as an external tie, there is no way that the skirt will fly up and open to expose your bits. The interfaced facing really helps with that. 🙂
