Simplicity 2369

Pattern Description - Misses' Knit dress in two lengths or tunic and pants.

Sizes: 8 to 24

Instructions: The instructions are easy to follow, be careful on cutting out the left and right side fronts. The illustrations in the pattern directions show the fronts differently a couple of times. 

Facing is cut for the front, I took several inches out of the facing.  This so the wrap would pull to my body and not gap.  Several options with the sleeves, as per Sharon M's review I decided not to go with the longer full sleeves.  I wanted that length, work is chilly most of the time, so I added the sleeve band.  I cut the sleeve band with the stretch, I wanted that stretch for movement.  The grainline shows parellel to the selvedge, so no stretch. 

Changes:  Most were mentioned above in the instructions.  You could change the length of the ties so you only have a knot instead of a bow.

Likes and Dislikes:  I always like a new wrap top, this one is great that it is more of a faux wrap:

Sewn together at the side seams.

I would like to make the dress, if I can find the right fabric.

Fabric:  A rayon knit from Denver Fabrics.  I had ordered several knits but only kept this one, the others were very thin and not so good.

Conclusion:  A great pattern for summer.

This is piece number #3 left from stash.  Only one more to go. 

I was suppose to meet Gwen at Joann's yesterday but was not able to do that.
