The first version of this dress was made with the pattern sleeves. I don’t like them as much as I thought I would. I decided to make another version and modify the sleeves.
Again, this is a super easy pattern. I used the sleeves from Simplicity 8084. Much better and no extra adjustments needed for the sleeves to accommodate this pattern. With this being my second time making this, I think I’m going to shorten the next to waist length a tad more.
Pattern: Simplicity 8830, View A
Pattern: Simplicity 8084, Sleeves Only (limited availability)
Pattern Size: 16-24
Fabric: Cotton
Cut Size: 16
Modifications: (Shortened neck to waist length)
Likes: The fit, breast and side pockets
Dislikes: None
Conclusion: I will be making many more of these adding some embroidery embellishments.
Mimi G Styles offers independent patterns via the website, as well as Simplicity Patterns. I highly recommend this pattern designer for all levels. These patterns will make you feel like you’ve been sewing for years.
Would I make this again? Yes.
