Today it's 51 degrees in Chicago. I can't believe it. The sky is clear and sunny. I thought it was perfect for parting pictures outside. Problem.., The wind is high and I couldn't keep my hair away from my eyes. So we got a few pictures outside then we went back inside for the rest.

Back View Outside

This is the second time around for this dress. I made it for my sister a few years ago.



This pattern is described as Misses' knit dress in two lengths with variations. It's comes in sizes 8 to 18.



My version looks similar to the pictured model on the envelope except for the small changes that I made. The instructions were simple. This time around I didn't read them. I was able to complete this dress in less than two hours.



This pattern was perfect for the polyester knit fabric, a gift from Andrea a couple years ago. No dislikes.



 My changes were minimum or I should say my basic usual.



 -FBA - Similar to this.

 -Added neck binding in black spandex knit. Measure the length of the neckline; then subtract three inches to create a snug fix around the neckline.

 -Added a few inches to the length of the skirt.

 -Added a few inches to the length of the sleeves. It's winter. So I wanted the sleeves to come to at least my elbows.



I think I may sew View B in a solid.

This is a super easy pattern to sew. I recommend it to all level sewists.

So pretty! Love the print with neck binding trim. Your sister's dress turned out lovely as well. 51 degrees is considered cold here too, but I think we're pretty spoiled.

I am amazed that this dress can be made in less than two hours! It looks stunning on you! The black neck binding looks really nice. You look gorgeous in your dress. I wasn't sure if I was going to make this one (which is why I was looking at the pattern reviews), but your dress has absolutely convinced me - I can't wait to make it!
