Simplicity Dress 3833

Reviewed by idaaidasewing on 13th January, 2016

The fabric I used is a double faced wool, the instructions are very easy to use and I think this is an easy pattern you just need to know how to insert a zipper and offcourse how to sew darts!!!
I made size 18 and I didn’t make any fitting alterations, when i’ll make it again I’ll try a smaller size as I think it will fit better! I have a hourglass body shape!!!
The outside result is just as in the envelope, the inside is different though as I decided to line it, used the pattern pieces for the dress to make the lining following the pattern instractions for the dress with the following differences: used 1 cm seam allowance in the side seams instead of 1.5 cm, shortened the hem and the sleeves by 2.5 cms.
What i like about this pattern is the belt that ties in the back and all those darts (sleeve,back and front darts) that are a design feature in this pattern.
already have recommended this pattern to a sewing friend, if you like this styl you’ll love making a dress with this pattern!!!
