Vogue V1636

Hi Sewing Friends,

Here is another outfit that I made in 2025.  This Vogue pattern was out-of-print when I decided to make it.  But I was able to get a copy on Ebay.  What inspired my to try this top was a fellow creator, Monica of That's Sew Monica, on Instagram.  She made the top a few times and I really loved the black and white outfit that she made.  

Pattern Description:  Misses' tops:  fitted wrap top has pleats and tucks with ribbon and button closure. I'd also like to add that it has princess seams.      A: Short sleeve with dart.  B:  Two piece sleeve.  This pattern is rated easy.  

Pattern Sizing:  6 to 22; I used 16 with modifications.  So there is a large range of sizes available. 

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?  Yes, it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow?  Yes, they were easy to follow.  Nothing was confusing or complicated..  Typical instructions for a wrap top or dress.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?  

Likes:

• wrap top design
• the asymmetrical peplum, fullness of the back peplum
• princess seam, easier to fit
• two piece sleeve

No dislikes.

Fabric Used:  The fabric is a very nice crepe knit from Mood Fabrics.  Love it.  It washes and dries beautifully.  No wrinkles. ;-)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:  I did my usual full bust adjustment similar to the adjustment that I made on Vogue V1672.  No photos this time.  But check out my post for V1672 for an illustration.  I also lengthen the sleeves.  If I make it again, I will  shorten the bodice a little bit for a better fit around my waist area. 

For my pants I used Vogue V1914, View C.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?  I think I may make it again. And yes, I do recommend it to others.

Conclusion:  This is a relatively easy Vogue pattern to sew, and it will look great on all figure shapes.

Happy Sewing!
