Simplicity 2556 - Seafoam Blue Halter Vest

Simplicity Project Runway #2556



Pattern Description: Misses' vests with front variations…separate patterns included for cup size b, c, d. Inspired by Project Runway.



Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 10.



Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, with the minor change I made!

Were the instructions easy to follow? So easy!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this pattern - super cute and so stylish! It will be perfect for my trip to London to add some color to my bland wardrobe! :-)

Fabric Used: I am not sure what kind of fabric it is. I do know that it is a fashion fabric from Hancock Fabrics. :)

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add the buttons, instead I used clasps.

Would you sew it again? Yes.

Would you recommend it to others? Sure!

Conclusion: Stylish vest and so fun to wear! Though I do have to say, that I was a little confused on how to put on a halter vest. ;-)

Simplicity Fall 2009 Pattern Collection

Simplicity's Fall collection had come out and I'm so excited! As they have come out with some lovely patterns. Wait until you see the costume pattern! :-)

Wardrobe

This cute pattern features a great turtleneck pattern, skirt (you can lengthen it), jacket, vest, and slacks. I am also loving the color palette they chose.

OK, let me say that I LOVE the shade of blue they used for the vest and pants. For this pattern I only really like the jumper.

Tops

Nice basic blouse pattern with variations. I will definitely be picking this one up!

Skirts


A basic skirt pattern with some fun variations.

Jackets & Coats


I just LOVE this coat pattern by Project Runway! My favorite is the middle one in the top row, the green & blue plaid one. It is so cute!

This pattern is for the fashionable girl who likes the current fads. While I am a traditional/classic girl, I do like the blue and hot pink jacket.

Costumes

Sherlock Holmes Coat & Hat pattern. I am totally going to pick this one up, as I'm a HUGE Sherlock Holmes fan!

Black & White Polka-Dot Dress

OK, let me warn you! I'm in love with polka-dots!!! I always have since I was little and liked Minnie Mouse. But, sadly I never had a dress with polka-dots till this year when I have three! :-) But this one is the best, as it reminds you of Minnie Mouse, but in black instead of red.
