I felt that the bodice was a little large -- I took in extra width at the princess seams on the upper bodice after trying it on, so instead of 16 I probably should have cut 14 at the shoulders & bust area. But then the sateen I used is fairly stretchy as well. Otherwise I found the sizing quite reasonable to what you'd expect. Good luck!

I just wanted to ...Hei! you look fab in that dress!<br />I just wanted to know how the recommended sizes fit you? I have the same pattern, and according to that I'm a size 18 at the bust an 20 at the waist and hips. However, I've tried to make a Simplicity dress before and eventhough I followed the recommended size it was just so ill fitting - even at the places of the measurements (bust, waist, hips).<br />So just wanted to know, if you felt that the sizes of the pattern coresponded well with the fit of the final product? or did you have to take in extra afterwards?

I do find that the shoulders in NL can be wide as well, so if that's an issue for you, make sure to adjust that too.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-2589692485001609852015-12-27T01:16:43.458-05:002015-12-27T01:16:43.458-05:00Just bought this pattern and wanted to see how it ...Just bought this pattern and wanted to see how it would look on someone who wasn't the model in the picture.

I should note that I ended up stitching the slope of the shoulder up a little -- from regular seam at the neckline to about a 1"seam at the shoulder. That little bit of adjustment seemed to help with my fitting.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-44757957835803504172015-06-03T20:52:35.826-04:002015-06-03T20:52:35.826-04:00I loved this pattern when I saw it but it did not ...I loved this pattern when I saw it but it did not work for me (too much fabric in the shoulders and not worth my time to fix it!). <br /><br />Your version is so very lovely!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968938319199781696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-85779963608940854582015-06-01T23:24:09.202-04:002015-06-01T23:24:09.202-04:00Thanks Rhonda -- this goes so well with red -- and...Thanks Rhonda -- this goes so well with red -- and blue, and white, and yellow......Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-39675663390162605972015-06-01T23:23:30.724-04:002015-06-01T23:23:30.724-04:00Finally....fashion has caught up to me!
