Simplicity Sewing Pattern 1537: Misses' and Plus Amazing Fit Dress, Size, Paper, White, AA (10-12-14-16-18)

Good service and item.

I have made the dress now. Very good pattern

to see if i was able to make it

I first used this pattern when 3 sizes larger so I needed the smaller size. Pattern sent 24 hr tracked and took 48 hrs to arrive after receiving false notification from Amazon that it would need to be collected? Then delivered to the correct address but with the address label stuck on the reverse of the pattern covering up the sizes and material/motion requirements! Much worse than covering up the picture of the finished dress!My husband patiently peeled it off so OK if a bit sticky! Now I have to find a clear bag to stick to it so I can read all the info! Not great for a full price pattern!Suggest patterns are sent out in an envelope! Sticking the address label on the pattern envelope is really not a great idea!

Pattern came not wrapped .post sticker covered front of pattern couldn't see pictures.wouldnt but again

Very complicated to many pieces

Easy to follow pattern

I’m not a new sewer. This is a total faff sorting your size out. You have to work out your bust and hip measurements out as well as your normal size. I’m a D and it worked me out to be B. I cut out the B. It was way too big under the arm. By the time I’d taken it in the arm facings were too big, the bodice didn’t match the seams on the skirt.Stay away from this pattern.

I started and completed a dress with this pattern in just a few days. I have constructed/sewn many dress patterns. I didn't like all the "fine tuning" instructions for the dress. This pattern is not too difficult and I would rate it an 8 on a scale of difficulty. The instructions for adjusting the size according to your bust, hips and waist were accurate but the sleeves were tricky and I had to adjust those. The main flaw was the instructions for altering the bustline princess seams since not enough instruction was given about adjusting this, however I lucked out and did not have to adjust the princess bustline seam for myself. Terms like "pin out" were unclear and there should have been more detail about how to adjust the princess seam and term definition. Also the instructions have you turn the material right side to make adjustments, which is fine, but the instructions directed to "baste" the hemline of the sleeve which I thought was unnecessary and created extra work since you had to remove the basting for the permanent stitching on the sleeve hemline. Still the dress came out stunning and I was quite pleased. I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

Pattern has many sizes. Easy to customize for my shape.

parcel took a long time but it's from far away.

I liked everything about the pattern. How easy it's to use.
