Review: Simplicity 3622 + 3634Size:14
Pattern Critique: First off let me
I will say that I am blessed that I can fit right out of the envelope and will enjoy it for as long as I can.
Fabric: rayon/spandex jersey from stash
Modifications: All those details are here & here
Results: Not an exact replica, I needed a little modesty at the neckline to keep it work friendly - so I didn't change it. If I make another one for wearing out I will definitely lower that neckline.
My only issue is my derrière, I never thought I had much of one, but I could not get a pic without the dress sitting on my butt. I'm guessing that is how it's going to look out in public. I'll have to see how I feel about that. Lastly, before I wear this I will have to stay the back waistline it's drooping a bit in the middle.
P.S. I love knit dresses!!!!

I think you did a great job of combining the two patterns... very cute!
So nice. Look out, DVF!
it came out great, that is a really cute design, I am happy it worked out for you.
You did that so fast! And, wow, it looks great. Congrats!
It looks great! Go, you!
Agradece a señoras!! (learning Spanish) You all inspire me FOR REAL :)
Hi, lurker here. Your dress turned out very nice. I have the same problem like you with the 'riding up' in the back but I have a sway back. Adding more fabric (run a test) could give you the ease required so the back hangs straight. I don't know what the back of your pattern is like so couldn't advice you there.
BUT, you have a Jamaican flag on your machine and my eyes popped. I am a Jamaican girl.
Back to lurking....and the boots look fantastic with your dress...super outfit.
Wow, it looks amazing! I may have to try this.
Have you tried wearing a slip underneath the dress so it doesn't cling to the rear?
como as bonita! me gustan el vestido con los cargadores. (practico mi espanol siempre que consiga la ocasión)
:-D
GREAT JOB!!!It looks great on you and I love that color.The blue jewelry looks great with it too.
I have never alter a pattern!That is something I want to learn.Or is that something you just jump in and try it and see how it comes out?
You've got skilzzzz! Hope to be like you when I grow up LOL
The dress looks fantastic-great work-however the whole outfit-with the boots/bag go to another level-that is true style
Now I really love that dress! You are so talented to be combining patterns like that. It just has such a great fit (and I love your boots with it!). Great job!
