Simplicity K2588

I love this pattern, it is as simple to make as it appears and honestly I don't find that true of many patterns. Those instruction sheets sometimes do my head in. This one had me puzzled but not in a 'tear my hair out' way. More in a 'hmmm lets get to work' way which is great. 

I was pushed to make this as I had a workshop participant interested in making it and I thought it better that the head scratching happened before rather than during the workshop. LOL. 

My finished dress...

I  ended up adding a metal zipper, (it was the only 22" zip I had that matched and it was 10 pm!) and changed it to go right to the top of the neck band instead of just under and hand sewing hooks and eyes as instructed. There are lots of features to this pattern that are really great. So many different variations, next time the full skirt...
