Grey Knit Simplicity Dress

Print Page

Description

This is Simplicity 6557 made of grey knit. I cut true to size, but it came out a lot bigger, not sure if it was because of knit fabric or the pattern itself. But I modified it to fit. Came out a pretty laid back everyday dress. :)

Materials

Grey cotton knit

finally sewing again

The seaming is pristine. The neckline both front and back is so flattering. I like it a lot.

Looks nice and comfortable. I guess the size problems are due to: 1. either the pattern was ment for a non-knit fabric (in that case you should go down one-two sizes); 2. seam allowances were included and you didn't take that into account. (You see, I have already made both misstakes...)

sewing up some knit dresses

Thanks, Lilo, I really did forgot to go down 1-2 sizes but actually, what I cut out was the smallest size of the pattern I have. Next time, I will keep that in mind when doing knits! :) But I didn't add extra seam allowance, so I guess I really should've go down 2 sizes probably.
