Simplicity 8912 View B

Simplicity 8912 View B

Pattern Description: I made Simplicity 8912 View B, there is a newer envelope but its the same view. It is a shirt dress, with a stand up collar and knee length.

Pattern Sizing: I made a size 22. I love the extra room especially since this will be worn in the summer.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes, its pretty darn close. I also added in a double looped belt so it looks more put together.

Are the instructions easy to follow? Yes they were pretty easy to follow. The directions for the cuffs were a little confusing but it was relatively easy once I looked at the drawing.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I actually loved the pattern and can see myself making it a few more times.

Fabric Used: I used a lightweight white and blue stripes shirting fabric.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lowered the bust dart two inches, added one inch to the length of the bodice, and did a bicep. adjustment.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I would sew it again and I would recommend it to others.

Conclusion: Great pattern if you are looking for a shirt dress. No buttons or zippers.
