I seem to be drawn to the Design Your Own Dress series of patterns. This pattern is for woven fabrics but I'm going to make it for knits. I only have to do minor adjustments for my first pattern alterations. Size 18 bust, 20 waist, then adding 1/4" to all the seam allowances for the hips. I may have to do a sway back adjustments and re-angle to shoulder seams but that's pretty usual for me.

MOVE OVER TNT PATTERN SIMPLICITY 7468! THERE'S A NEW FAVORITE IN TOWN!!!
I sewed up a quick muslin of the Simplicity 7103 in a black polyester knit. It's more like a double knit but I couldn't find the tag so it's a mystery polyester knit fabric.

But I can't believe that the fit is about a 99% perfect! I decided to finish the neckline and the armholes by just turning and stitching 1/4". I also top-stitched the princess seams.
I'm still fighting allergies and I am one HOT MESS! My eyes are red, my face it puffy and I think my bra is full of tissues! I will spare you all my runny nose and my messy hair. I HATE pollen!

I know that there will be another version of this pattern in the works soon.
I love it when a pattern & fabric come together to make a beautiful dress!
Until next time................
