Simplicity 2444 A Review…Birthday Dress 2012
Pattern Sizing: 12-20
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? SUPER easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I'm in love with ALL things "bow" and this was just a no brainer for me. I loved this dress when I first saw it.
Fabric Used: Taffeta
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add the pockets.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I doubt if I will make this view again but I love the darts and pleats on the dress so I MIGHT make another view. If you love this style grab it.
Conclusion: This pattern was very well drafted. It went together without any problems. If you like this style dress, grab it.
These are my DIY shoes. It took FOREVER but I added all the crystals to it. I want to fill in the entire heel. I didn't have enough crystals so I had to improvise lol

Sorry weird question. Your sleeves looks great! I’m having trouble with a sleeve that does not allow me to raise arm. Have you ever had that trouble and what was solution? I’ve already raised the armscye.

Your dress loks very nice. And your shoes are cute, I know what you mean abuot how time consuming adding crystals to shoe heels is! I decorated a “pair” for a diva style bridal shower I gave. My “shoes” were only 2 3m tape dispensers…Happy b-lated birthday.

Very, VERY pretty. It looks like a dress Michelle Obama would wear –very classy! If you could do post sometime on how you get such a perfect fit, I would love that. Do you usually do a Muslin fit for each pattern or do draft alterations onto the pattern pieces?

That dress is stunning. Has sort of a classy retro look. Sis and I call them I Love Lucy dresses. You’ve got mad skills with the heels.
