This is very, very nice. What pattern did you use? I'm not sure I'd use it, as there seem to be far more darts than I'm comfortable with, but you seem to have those down to a science. 😁 I had wondered if the interfacing would interfere with the drape of the cloth, but it doesn't seem to do so. Have you ever experienced using it and noticing it impacting the final result, in terms of reducing the drape of the final piece? I hope you get much enjoyment out of wearing this.
I drafted it myself. It’s princess seams at the front and it has a couple of little back darts. It’s my first time sewing with my handwoven fabric so I don’t have a lot of reference points but the interfacing didn’t seem to impact much at all.
Darn it, I really was considering purchasing the pattern. LOL! I'm glad to hear about the interfacing, though, as that seems like a very reasonable alternative to some of the things I've tried over the years. And, yeah, I guess I mistook the princess seams for front darts; I did notice the back darts, hence my comment. I am really impressed by your work and I hope we see more of it in the future! Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.
Thank you for posting your project. We suggest adding information about it. Users like to know: fiber (warp and weft), weave pattern, EPI, type of loom used, and other info that you think might be interesting.
As a newbie, this just blows my mind. I'm amazed and it's so gorgeous, the drape of it is perfect. Wow. I can't seem to find the progress photos others referred to. Could you share a few "along the way" or "on the loom" photos? I'd love to see. You're an inspiration for sure!

It needs a good iron and the fit isn’t perfect everywhere but we are all going to be nice about that. It’s super comfy
