I wanted to make a pink dress. So, I used Simplicity’s 1800AA pattern and cut out a size 10. That was the smallest size they had for this pattern. I had to alter it quite a bit around the shoulders and bust otherwise it would have fallen off my shoulders. It’s a very comfortable dress and not hard to make.
1.5 yard of suiting (?) material. 22 in zip, interacing, thread
