I am thinking that the Simplicity 7243 pattern has become my tried and true pattern. I love the style of this dress. I love the pockets. I love the neckline. I love the quickness in making it. I just LOVE this pattern!
I sized down a little more to make the fit a little more fitted. The Ponte knit has a good amount of stretch so I removed all the ease. I think with a solid color the princess seams really stand out. Who doesn't love good pockets?

The fuchsia color is not pink, not purple, not red. I have a Bouclé fabric with light pink, fuchsia, black and white that would make a great Chanel style jacket. (Maybe my sewing mojo is coming back!)
Until next time...............

I really like this dress! Great color choice and a wonderful silhouette makes this dress a winner!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, Thank you for your kind words. Believe it or not, your tri-colored ponte dress was my inspiration! Our silhouette is similar so your dress really caught my eye. Thank you again & Happy sewing.
