Simplicity 2053…A Review

First review of 2013!!

I saw this dress online a while back and fell in LOVE. I mean its SEQUIN lol

Donna Karan Sequined One-Shoulder Gown $2995.00

I loved the style of it and knew it would look great on me.

Simplicity 2053

I wore this the Friday after Christmas to a formal event.

Pattern Description: Misses' day to evening dresses in two lengths with bodice and sleeve variations


Pattern Sizing: 14-22

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? The directions were very easy. I only glanced at them once.


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved this this pattern really resembled the inspiration dress.

Fabric Used: I used a pleated/crinkle coated knit. That's the only way I can describe it.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add a zipper since there was so much stretch in my fabric.


Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I doubt if I make it again but I do recommend it if you like this style.


Conclusion: This was a very straight forward pattern. Well drafted, no issues.  I love that it gave me lines similar to the inspiration dress.
