Another dress......

Yes , I made another dress but this time from Khaliah Ali collection ....simplicity 2774. A very simple dress, with empire waist ........

Here is my review.

Fabric: Matte Jersey from Joann.

Pattern Description: Misses or Plus Size Knit Dresses & Tunics;

Pattern Sizing: size 10 – 18. I cut size 14 and graded up to 18 for the skirt

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: I think so and as always with more TLC.....lol.

Were the instructions easy to follow: I followed some of the instructions but I used some other techniques..

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: No alteration to the pattern, but here are some of the things I did differently

First I interfaced the neck band and the facing, and I sew the two together seperately as you would do when making collar.

I folded up the back facing and slip stitched it to the back for a neater finish.

I also added a belt to the dress, because without it the dress will look more like a maternity gown. I finished the hem on my coverstitch machine and serged all the raw edges.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The pattern is very simple to make, I love the empire waitline and the sleeves .

Would you recommend it to others? Yes .

Conclusion: Very lovely dress, I love the fact that I didn't have to do any alteration and the flow of my fabric ..........
