Simplicity 2692 - Electric Blue One-shoulder Dress
2:00 PM
Pattern Sizing: 4-20. I cut the size 4.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? It does!
Fabric: Blue cotton/spandex jersey.
Were the instructions easy to follow? The were very easy. Since I made this dress in a knit, I serged most of it. I completed it within a couple of hours.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that this pattern offered many versions and you could really make it your own.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: According to the flat pattern measurements, I knew all of the pieces would be a little too wide. I altered the bodice, the midriff and the skirt by removing 2 inches from the width. She's tall and narrow.
Conclusion: I made this dress for a school banquet that Mikaela was attending. This pattern was leftover from stacks of patterns I had bought Amber. Glad I have a second daughter that can use these!
