Pattern: Simplicity 2925 (Sew Stylish)
Fabric: Polyester

It looks a little different than the pattern envelope…higher neck and a bit more blouse-y. Not that I mind, but it just makes me curious.

The neck is supposed to hit quite a bit below my collar bone, but as you can see here, that’s not the case.

I had a devil of a time getting the gathering just right and the straps aligned correctly, but overall it was a quick sew, about three days tops between school and all.

Oh Threads, another great pattern from you. It went together ok I guess, but I got really hung up on the midriff band and the directions on how to attach the facing. Made no sense at all, so I omitted it, but I might sew it in my hand if I change my mind. Not only did that bother me, but the ties were made in the most inefficient and time-consuming way possible: hey, let’s press and turn under 1/4″ seam allowance along all the edges and stitch them down. Wtf? It would have been much better to sew two tie pieces together RSF, turn the tie right side out and voila. The tie would be done. And I should have altered the pattern to raise the neckline since it’s a bit revealing, meaning you can see inside. But oh well, I just wear a cami underneath it instead.

I wore it out today and it was so nice to not have to fuss with a strapless bra, like I usually do with most of my spring/summer dresses.
