Simplicty 1008 1246

Game of thrones inspired pattern.

I love this pattern it was easy to sew even possible in 1 day. I made one for me and one for a friend. I had this lovely vintage fabric that I used for the top.


Pattern Description: 

Pattern Sizing:
Waist runs small I removed back darts to acomodate my size. 
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
They were but I had trouble with under stiching the lining so I opened up both sides underarm and used this tutorial it was so much easier, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V_qm82EV8xk

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It was easy you could push through and finish this in one day. The dress takes up only about 3.5 yards of fabric which is Half of most midevil/rennisance costumes. 

Fabric Used:
Bottom is cotton bedsheet, vintage cotton top (been hoarding this for 10 years)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I removed back darts because my measurements the waist runs pretty small! I used a simple ribbon instead of grommets. 

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, I think it's a lovely pattern is was easy to use I would use it again
