Sewing a Twirly Dress for a Girly Girl! Simplicity 1435

Pattern Description: Knit Leggings, Capris, Dresses, Tunics, and Tops for Girls

Pattern Sizing: 3-8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Pretty much. I added lace at the bottom and used two different fabrics.

Were the instructions easy to follow? For the most part I found them simple and straight forward. It was difficult at times to follow the order of instructions but, the end result was good.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It was easy to cut out and place, the pattern pieces were clearly marked and the dress went together easily

Fabric Used: Cotton Lycra, a shopkins print and a plain pink mixed for the skirt.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I would sew it again, the fit was great and it is a very easy playful dress.  I would like to make the top and the tunic next.

Conclusion: If you are looking for fast and easy with great results this is it! My granddaughter loved the dress and wears it all the time to school and to play in.  It took me about 3 hours from first cut to finish.  The hem was a little difficult, but I believe that is solely due to my inexperience in working with the lace.  I learned some new things and the dress is so adorable.
