Pattern: OOP Simplicity 3505 Misses'/Miss Petite Dress or Top, Pants or shorts, Jacket. I've had this pattern for a few years.
Fabric: Grey Peachskin which is polyester, very soft, and silky.
Dress front has a yoke that I had planned to use pink silk, but it was too thin and didn't look just right after pressing the interfacing to the fabric. It also has darts that are formed from the armhole edge stitched in a downward position and a center pleat. The back of the dress has tucks instead of darts and a vent at the hemline which I normally refer to as a kick pleat.
For those of you who still have a flattering waistline a belt made of the same fabric would be complimentary.
Alterations: Pockets were not added.
Jacket has front pleats beneath the bust point and a center back pleat.
Sewing with Peach skin requires a very sharp needle. One must test the stitches to avoid puckering. Hand sewing is also a slow process because of the tight weave of the fabric.

I really do like this pattern and would recommend it for it's versatility. I'm really interest in this pant pattern.
