*Instead of overlapping the elastic, I decided to try a technique of placing the cut pieces of elastic together on a strip of fabric and zigzag it together. This removes the bulk.

 Pattern: Jacket Simplicity 2474

Fabric: Mauve Crepe De Chine with multi color polyester trim. This is a jacket pattern that has been made several time.

I cut this outfit last year during the Summer and finally got it completed. Normally, I have no UFO's so now I've taken care of this. It's good to save left over fabric. The trim is fabric that I previously lined another suit with. It worked perfectly.

Pleasant Floral Print Dress

 

Pattern Description: Simplicity 2474  Threads Collection Misses' and Plus Size dress or top, pants, jacket, scarf and knit cardigan

 Sizes: 10-28W

 

It did not look like the photo in that 5" was to the length and after trying it on during fitting, I removed 1 1/2" from each side below the bust tapering it to a slimmer fit at the hem. The front of the dress was cut on the fold to remove the front seam.

 

Fabric Used: Lined look polyester purchased from Walmart about eight years ago.

Polyester lining from Vogue Fabrics online

 

It would be good for me to remake this dress in another type of fabric that can't be distorted. This has some poof (it's as if the air is flowing around underneath). A nice crepe or cotton would be nice. The dress has too much extra fabric for my taste. Although it might be what my body type needs, it was very unattractive.
The green in this fabric is the exact color of my bedroom walls and the first thing I did was place it on my bed as an overlay and surprisingly my husband liked it. I left it there for a couple of days and one day he came home and saw me sewing it and asked why? Now, I do regret cutting it as I'm not pleased with it.
A matching Jacket is on it's way and I wonder if I'll be satisfied as this fabric does not lay flat. It reminds me of my silk organza pressing cloth.
