Simplicity 2174

It’s been a while, but I’m still here! I had some other things I was working on that I didn’t post (pants fitting alterations) that I finally got done. But this is the latest new project. It’s an “Amazing Fit” dress by Simplicity. I made View A which is the one featured on the pattern cover. I really like the fit of the dress. I didn’t have to make any alterations to the pattern. The pattern has options for A, B,C, and D cup sizes so anyone should be able to find the right fit. There is also a lot of fitting and sizing help in the pattern instructions if you need it. This is actually a pretty easy pattern to put together. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I used a light-weight cotton/linen-like fabric which is perfect for a hot, humid summer day. I’m not sure if I would make this again just because I wouldn’t want another dress the same style as this. But there are a couple of other options in the pattern. Anyway, I’m happy with the way this turned out.
