I used Simplicity 3803 for the pattern. Overall I found the pattern fairly easy. In all of the reviews I have read (check out Pattern Review if you haven't already...you'll be glad you did), I am surprised no one has mentioned the difficulty of sewing that point in the middle of the bodice. It wasn't hard, just more of a pain in the butt. Maybe it's just me. Other than that, everything went together pretty smoothly. I'm happy with the result and looking forward to wearing this out soon.P.S. Ummm, the boob really isn't messed up as it appears in the picture. I just need to wear a better bra when I actually wear this out.
adorable, I remember that J Crew dress well. And yes, what is summer without seersucker!?
ReplyDeletethat looks great! i couldn't agree more about the *&^%$ point in the middle! i sewed the dress in a stretch fabric which I think covered the totally horrid job I did on that point. yours looks very crisp and lovely-- seersucker is such a perfect fabric for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat point can be hard. in a BWOF pattern with a similar point, the tell you to stop sewing 5/8 inch away from the end. For some reason when I did that, it all made sense to me.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Fun and summery and very very J.Crew.
Did you realize that we used the same pattern, the purple dress you like on my blog is this same pattern :)
