Simplicity 1699
Great pattern. I meant to cut out the sleeve from view A but forgot and cut out view B so this is a real capped sleeve—like inspire you to get to the gym and lift some weight capped. I’d love to make this again with the view A sleeve. Its cute though and goes together like a dream. I added an inch above the waist and an inch the the peplum. I wish I would have kept the original length on the peplum but not enough to re-hem and am happy with the above waist addition. I made a size 10 and it fits well. The back has an invisible zipper that I can just barely zip up without help. The fabric is a cotton poplin I picked up from Farmhouse Fabrics. I used 1.25 yards. Total cost including zipper was around $20.00 except now I want some white capri length pants to go with it. I don’t know how many peplums a closet can support but I want to make this pattern again.

ReplyDeleteVery cute. Very, very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to make this for an author signing thing I have in San Fran this summer. Only i'm thinking I'll do the dress... Maybe in a cotton/silk blend b/c the fabric won't be a pain to work with lol.
