Another TNT Simplicity 7243 pattern dress. I just mixed up the color and print on this version. I did add sleeves. I'm glad I did but I don't LOVE them. I am thinking a color blocking on this version.
I slipped in Dear Daughter Simplicity 5695 shorts pattern since I will have extra fabric.

I received many compliments on this dress. I like that it can be worn with white (cardigan/sweater and shoes) or with black. Maybe in winter I'll wear it with tall boots and my black jacket. Very versatile.
I widened the neck facing by 1". Now it lays much better than the thinner one on the black version.
How many times have I made this dress?

Dresses, dresses, dresses, I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you! These dresses are a staple in my closet!
DeleteThat is a great dress and I love the shorts. I wouldn't have seen this potential in that print - nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! When I buy a printed ponte knit, I usually only order 1 yard for the center of this dress pattern.
DeleteOh my, I really love this one. The solid blue looks like it was the perfect choice to mate this with. Nothing wrong with a good TNT. And the print shorts are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's even better when Daughter loves the shorts!
DeleteThose shorts are *PERFECT*!! And kudos on a lovely TNT! Love the color/print blocking
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a great dress pattern. I can see why you like it - it looks great on you. And your daughter looks cute in her shorts.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove your dresses. I am trying to find that pattern in my stash. If possible could you post a picture of the pattern envelope please.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, I noted the wrong pattern number. It's the Simplicity 7243. I added the envelope photo near the end of the post. Thank you for questioning me and I am so sorry that I mis-noted the pattern. I hope you have this pattern in your stash and will sew it up. I do love it! PS. It's for woven fabric I believe and I make mine in knits. Just a FYI.
DeleteThank you for stopping by & your kind comments!
Love the blue Aztec block dress and shorts!
