This is the first time I used a Simplicity pattern, they aren’t available at most fabric shops here. I really like this dress and will definitely make more, I cut it to my normal size but added 3cm onto the centre of the front and back to wear while I’m pregnant but I can also wear it when I’m not. I used black tape for the inside channel for the drawstring under the bust.
