Simplicity 7103 Pattern Hack

An idea came to me to make a dress that had a yoke on the top in the front and the back.  I used my Simplicity 7103 TNT princess shoulder seam pattern and worked it from there. I also added a band on the bottom.

I used two pieces of leftover fabric from my stash for this dress.

The lighting makes the fabric look like two different colors but they are the same.

Maybe I should have cut the back panel on the fold, but it worked out.

I noticed that the yokes didn't meet at the same place at the side seams, but if I don't raise my arms, no one will notice.

I'm very happy with the outcome of this dress.  I did make a few pattern adjustments for another version later on but I really need to clean out my closet AGAIN! 

Until next time.................
