I really love the pink dress of 5972. It's pretty simple except for all the wonderful ruffles around the neckline. I expect to see a bunch of these sewn up quickly. Ruffles are all the rage right now.
This is 5974 and made for knits. I like view D with the built in ties. Mine won't include the back zipper, though. I don't understand zippers on knit dresses, unless there are some interfaced parts that won't stretch over the body.
5975 is another simple design for knits. I like view C with the cowl neckline. This will be great for fall with a skinny belt, tights and tall boots. Again, no back zipper needed.I'm getting after Simplicity 2614, which is part of my wardrobe. It is looking extremely cute, if I do say so myself. Oh, and I'm nearly done with my Rusted Root. I'll be back in a day or two...
I really love all of the ruffles on the pink dress, too. I hope you make this one soon. I'd love to see it.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the Laura Ashley with the ruffles.
ReplyDeleteI like a lot of the ones you do. I also do NOT understand the need for a zipper in knits.
ReplyDeleteBeen a lurker for a while, don't think I've posted on here before though. :-)
ReplyDeleteCrazy...the one with the ruffles was my fave too! I don't know though....it might be almost too girly, and goodness knows I have enough dress patterns! (Considering I never wear them!)
I love the pink dress. I also like the wrap dress. I would not put a zipper in a knit dress as that defeats the purpose of wearing knits.:)
ReplyDeleteHey Amanda,

Love that pink dress with the ruffles as well!
ReplyDeleteI love your picks, especially the ruffle dress. I am going to Hancock's on Labor day. I think the McCall's patterns ar 99c, but as usual, my Hancock's won't have the new patterns in I bet.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm always confused about zippers in knits. Burda does this, too! I always eliminate them.
