Colour me crazy Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are great to add to your wardrobe, especially plain coloured ones that can be worn with different belts, jackets or shirts. I was not thinking along those lines though. I saw the image of the Burdastyle jumpsuit 02/2013 #124 and I went cooo-coo for colours. I bought the pattern and headed for the shops to find a lovely fabric. Well this is what I found most appealing. It was on display at the local fabric shop because it was the Carnival season here in Trinidad and Tobago; and though I am no fan of the revelry of carnival the vibrancy of the colours draws me. It is a lightweight synthetic fabric that feels quite soft.

My husband refers to the fabric as Mexican Poncho Cloth and we were cracking up about it lots of times while I was constructing the garment. So yes it is a bit loud but I hope it's not too much of a turn off to those who behold it. So far I've not had any negative comments about it. 

I did a tutorial about attaching the binding trim, to the neckline opening and I hope someone finds it useful. 

All is all the jumpsuit was not difficult to make. Luckily for me it was a tall pattern and I only needed to add 1 inch more to the trousers length to fit my almost 6 foot frame. I used a Burdastyle size 76 which is where I fit in. Generally it fits well but the top is quite loose. I suppose I could have taken in about an inch on either side of the side seams of the top for a better fit. However............drum roll...........I am very happy with the outcome!

The biggest challenge was matching the pattern so that my zig-zag lines line up perfectly. One of my peeves is to see poorly lined up plaids, stripes and zig-zags. 
Perhaps I went a bit wild with the fabric choice. What do you think?
