Notion: zipper & hook n eye
Year: 2012

Wear again? Believe I would - will update
I love this dress, it makes me want to take a vacation and the 50's feel is awesome.

Sewing the Design
The instructions were very good, simplicity are very user friendly. This pattern seems complicated but it's really easy and now I have one under my belt, dress two will be easy going. I did have to alter from a 5/8 seam to 3/8, must have gain some holiday pounds. Other than that it was fairly easy to put together and complete.

Those are beautiful dresses. The fabrics are extraodinary--especially the white/black and the light blue ones. But they are all exceptional.

Just deciding whether simplicity 1755 was worth getting and saw your lovely, lovely Tea in Paris dress. What a super name for a dress! Well done for having the patience to make the same pattern 3 times and getting such wonderful results.
