When I made Simplicity 3678 back in October I knew that I’d make it again. Empire waist with gentle gathers at the front and back, and lots of bodice and sleeve options. This time I made view A.
I really do love a V neckline with nice bust shaping! The fabric is a border printed interlock I snapped up on sale a while ago from The Cloth Shop. It took a little juggling and puzzling to cut out the pieces to maximise the print, but I think that I did okay.
The cap sleeves are fully self-faced so there is no sleeve hemming needed. Easy to assemble, and comfortable for work – although I wore a camisole underneath for work; that neckline is a little low for the office!

I looks great Lara, love that fabric
You are one sexy mumma Lara – I LOVE it. Wouldn’t mind having a go at it myself. You make it look all so easy.
That’s really lovely.
I really like this dress, love how you have used that border print. Might have to hve a look for this pattern.
[...] I think it’s official – I love this pattern. Flattering, comfortable, relatively easy to make. You can see my earlier versions here and here. [...]
