March Challenge #6........ Simplicity 2455

I am still here and doing my thing.... I will be so happy if I can accomplish my set sewing goals for this month, but let's just wait and see..................Here is my review of thread simplicity 2455 dress..... I love this dress, the colour of my fabric and the simplicity of the pattern...just like the name says.....lol...


Inside look of the sleeve

Fabric: Suiting fabric with a little bit of stretch from Fabric land

Pattern Description: 2455 Misses' Sportswear...Threads Collection. Misses' dress or top, pants and jacket sewing patterns.

Pattern Sizing: K5, 10-16. I cut 14 upper and graded to 16 from hip down
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? For most part, except I didn't make the belt

Were the instructions easy to follow: Nothing can be easier.....

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't really do much alteration.
(1) I made 3/4" swayback adjustment
(2) I didn't put the zipper, because when I tried it to check the fit, I realised the stretch in the fabric is enough to put it on/out so I omitted the zipper.......

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Nothing to dislike at all, I love the style and the fit

Would you recommend it to others? Absolutely......stylish, simple and can be worn as you desire

Conclusion: I am getting in love with threads collection now...lol, I have not been disappointed so far with any of their patterns.. I might be making this again in another fabric that will require lining.... I love it

Have a wonderful week everyone
Enjoy!!!!

  3. What a great sheath. The color is so close to your dressform, at least in the photo, that the form almost disappears!

I am reporting myself publicly now LOL!!! Nice work, nice colour. Do you still want me to repair that Iron that got spoilt about 5 months ago? :)
