I love when the right fabric meets the right pattern.
Pattern: Simplicity 8925
At the beginning of this year, I had planned on working through my pattern stash. I have SO many patterns that remain uncut. Which means unused. So I went through my um....my collection.... and created a list of wrap dress patterns that I wanted to work through to compare. I chose several of them, whether they would be for casual wear or something for a night out. I started off with this more recent release of Simplicity.
During my stash busting adventures, I thought this chevron-ish design would be "okay" with this dress. I just wanted a comfy casual dress. I had no idea I would like it so much! Especially since pink is NOT my favorite color. I felt cute and I wanted to go somewhere. Well....with the situation we're currently in, somewhere can't happen just yet. So I took pictures in the empty parking lot of The Mall of Georgia. Sadly, this has been the best time to take blog photos! I can prance around for pictures without worrying about being looked at like a crazy person! At least by fewer people.
The dress is a mid-length wrap dress with kimono styled sleeves. No facing, no lining. No problems! I made no alterations to this dress. None! I cut it to a size XXL, no inches added. It was a quick sew with a great end result. But I must fight the urge to make another dress with this pattern because I'm on a mission to use patterns that I have yet to cut. So back into the filing cabinet you go, Simplicity 8925. Don't worry, you will be made again.
Love it. On my list.
