Bonjour Sewing Friends,
Really quick post on my birthday dress. I made it a few weeks before leaving for French. I used Simplicity S9820. I also used it for the crepe knit dress I made in June. That project is posted here with all the pattern adjustments and details.
I purchased my fabric from New Rainbow Fabrics on Roosevelt Road in Chicago. At the time, they were having a 30 percent off sale. So I got three yards for under $70.00. For the facing at the neckline, I used a stretch velvet for a smooth surface against my skin. Also, I lined it with a simple tricot knit. So the dress was comfort to wear.
There nothing more I could really add to the process. I love how it turned out and it fits pretty well.
Happy Sewing!
