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.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
