Vogue 1241

Pattern Description: Close-fitting, lined dress

Pattern Sizing: 8-16

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? Very easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Loved the entire pattern.

Fabric Used: Stretch cotton sateen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add a zipper or the back split.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I won't sew this one again but I highly recommend it to anyone if you like this style dress.

Conclusion: This was a great dress to make. One thing they had you do that I had never done before was fuse the interfacing directly on the dress across the pleats and on the back shoulder/armhole. Ive only made patterns where you fuse the interfacing onto another piece of fabric THEN sew it to the garment. I thought that was interesting.

There was enough stretch and the neck opening was large enough that I didn't have to worry about a zipper. LOVED that lol.

Love this dress and I can easily wear this into fall with a fall color cardigan.

Here are a couple other pics:

My shoes are Calie by Jessica Simpson I have this shoe in FOUR colors lol. I LOVE them lol.

Ok that's it!
Toodles!

I’m a semi-lurker, popping out of the shadows to say “hello”. To give you a behind-the-scenes on a way your blog can affect people that you don’t know, is that I have just had a 20 minute convo with my in-laws about your blog and why I read it. I talked about how you share your faith, your family, your struggles healthwise and otherwise, and how much info you share. And sometimes I can’t believe I’m enjoying something as simple and mundane as a picture dump, but it is just great. Don’t ever stop, okay?

Sooo pretty! Love those colors on you.
Lora/ 28.08.2012Reply

Wow! It looks so good on you! Pattern companies should hire you because you always make each pattern look so desirable to sew. Do you have a cami on underneath or is the white piece sewn into the dress?
Nizzy/ 28.08.2012Reply

I pop in from time to time, also. This is a very cute look on you!

Gorgeous dress. I know what you mean about the models, that’s why I find PR great. You can see what they look like on a woman with some meat.

Fabulous dress and the print is to D4.

Wow! That looks fabulous on you!
allisonc/ 31.08.2012Reply

Gorgeous dress in an amazing print, the colours are great on you. Is that a cami on underneath, is the neckline too low/gapy low without it?
toy/ 04.09.2012Reply

absolutely fabulous, yet again

Are your shoes comfy? Are they good to use at work, or there are just for special occasion?
