MATERIALS NEEDED
  • Self fabric (your main fabric)
  • Matching all-purpose thread to your fabric

Optional:

  • Wooly nylon thread - For upper and lower loopers on a serger/overlock sewing machine (can also be used in the bobbin of a regular home sewing machine to increase elasticity of stitches)
  • Heat & Bond - For ease of hemming knits Heat & Bond Soft Stretch Lite or Ultra fusible web adhesive is highly recommended! It adheres like regular fusible interfacing, but it keeps the stretchability of your knit fabrics. Keeps your hem flat, not bulky, and reduces any waviness.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

The Nice Tri Tank is designed for stretch knit fabrics, especially rib knits. The fabric should have a minimum stretch percentage of 50% crossgrain (selvedge to selvedge). Rib knit fabrics often have a much higher stretch percentage. A variety of knit fabrics will work for this pattern, from cotton/spandex rib knit to viscose/nylon/spandex ponte jersey. Rib knits are a favorite pairing for this pattern as they work perfectly for the body as well as the bindings!

It is recommended to use a fabric with a small amount of spandex or elastane to help the recovery after wearing, basically it will help to retain the correct shape! You can use a fabric without spandex or elastane but just be aware that the fabric may stretch out throughout the day and you may wish to wash and re-shape the garment each wear. Sweater knits can be a beautiful option if you wish for a more relaxed fitting garment. They tend to be bulkier and have a bit more drape, but also typically do not hold their shape as well - which can be used to your advantage if you prefer a less fitted style. Knits without any spandex or elastane will probably need the straps shortened at the designated point in the sewing process. You may also choose to pair a sweater knit with a standard 2x1 or 1x1 cotton spandex rib for the binding pieces! This will help to hold the style lines of the straps, while letting the rest of the garment fall as it wishes.

If you choose to use a heavyweight knit, like a double knit ponte, the garment may feel tighter around the body. If you choose to use a lightweight knit, like a plain jersey, the garment may feel looser around the body. You can choose your size according to the weight and stretch percentage of your fabric. Heavyweight = size up, lightweight = size down.

FIT RECOMMENDATIONS

The Nice Tri Tank - Flare Dress is meant to be fitted throughout the upper body and then gently fall away from the body starting just above the waist flowing out into a flared skirt. Overall, due to the nature of the design, the fit is forgiving because it relies heavily on the stretch in the fabric to wrap snuggly around the upper body. The shoulder straps are intended to cover a standard bra strap, if applicable. The horizontal third strap is intended to wrap across the mid-to-upper chest with the bottom edge of the strap hitting at about the armpit crease. More exact adjustments for the straps will be made during the sewing construction process, so don’t worry too much about nailing those measurements in the size selection! The bottom edge of the center front cutout should land at about mid sternum height. The center back cutout falls a bit higher up on the body and is a slightly smaller hole. The shaping of the garment all comes from the center front and center back seams. These seams can easily be adjusted as you sew up your garment! Although going smaller as you sew it up is much easier than going bigger, so err on the side of caution if you’re worried about wanting the garment less fitted. You might choose to size up and take it in from there.

Your fabric choice will play a huge part in how the final garment fits, so you may end up needing different adjustments for different fabrics. Focus on the overall circumference measurements to get the right fit. The pattern is drafted with negative ease at the bust: roughly 8-9” (20-22cm). The exact amount of ease varies depending on your personal measurements within the range of each size. If you prefer your garments to fit tighter, choose more negative ease (go smaller). If you prefer your garments to fit looser, choose less negative ease (go bigger). If you are between sizes, size up or down according to your desired amount of negative ease. See fabric recommendations for more info on how fabric affects the fit.

SIZE GUIDE

Choose your size based on your full bust measurement. The Nice Tri Tank - Flare Dress is designed to be a fitted garment through the upper body, although the tightness will vary depending on fabrication. To achieve the intended fit, make sure to select the size closest to your personal measurements and size up if you are between sizes. The full bust measurement is the most crucial point of reference because the intricate detailing of the straps relies on the chest area being close fit to the body. There are designated points throughout the instructions to double check the strap lengths as you put your tank together, so don’t worry too much about strap length! Rather focus on garment circumference for size selection.

Compare your personal measurements to the finished garment measurements to determine your desired amount of ease. The intended fit is figure-hugging at the upper body, which translates to negative ease. The difference in your personal measurements and the garment measurements is made up by the stretch factor in your chosen material. The garment should flow gently away from the body from the waist down to the hem, which means positive ease at the waist and hip.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
