Description

This is the first dress I make. It’s not perfect but I am pretty happy with it. ;-) For a first timer I found it a little bit more complicated than the expected. It is flattering on girls that don’t have the narrowest waist (I don’t either!).

Material Notes

Linen; fusible interfacing, buttons, and a 14 in. 35cm. zipper.

    You sure did a great job with your first attempt at making a dress! This sure shouldn’t be your last! Keep on sewing!

    Wow! Great job. SUPER CUTE DRESS. Looks really comfortable also. A really cute wearable dress and your button holes are PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was going to say that I have that pattern. The pattern I have is Simplicity 0591. ( I guess Simplicity really rehashes patterns???_The pattern I have looks eerily the same.)

    Google the pattern number I have to see how Simplicity varied the dress!

    Love you dress!
