Yes , I made another dress but this time from Khaliah Ali collection ….simplicity 2774. A very simple dress, with empire waist ……..

Here is my review.
Fabric: Matte Jersey from Joann.
Pattern Description: Misses or Plus Size Knit Dresses & Tunics;
Pattern Sizing: size 10 – 18. I cut size 14 and graded up to 18 for the skirt
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: I think so and as always with more TLC…..lol.
Were the instructions easy to follow: I followed some of the instructions but I used some other techniques..
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: No alteration to the pattern, but here are some of the things I did differently
First I interfaced the neck band and the facing, and I sew the two together seperately as you would do when making collar.
I folded up the back facing and slip stitched it to the back for a neater finish.
I also added a belt to the dress, because without it the dress will look more like a maternity gown. I finished the hem on my coverstitch machine and serged all the raw edges.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The pattern is very simple to make, I love the empire waitline and the sleeves .
Would you recommend it to others? Yes .
Conclusion: Very lovely dress, I love the fact that I didn’t have to do any alteration and the flow of my fabric ……….
