Talk about simple and comfy! This dress is so easy, even for a novice. This is probably one of the most easiest patterns I've ever worked with, seriously!
This patterns calls for 2 1/8 worth of fabric for my size, which was the 6. I had to trim down both the sleeves and body of the dress to get the perfect fit for me. This pattern also calls for
LINING and a little bit of
GATHERING around the bodice. I did line the fabric, however I did not use a lining fabric. I used the same floral print and just doubled it to give my dress a thicker look. I decided against
GATHERING because, as you can see, the dress naturally gathers along the bodice and I wanted to keep the length of the dress.
In addition to making a very cute dress, I also learned how to perfect a neckline using
FACING. Honestly, I don't why I haven't used this technique before, lol. It's a few more steps than just simply folding over an inch, but it's completely worth it, and it gives your garment a more professional look!
Would I use this pattern again...HECK YES! I plan to make a bunch of these in different colors for the spring!!
This is beautiful. I made this in an animal print. Where did you get that fabric ma'am?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I bought it from Joann's Fabric last year.
