bout two hours after reading that email.It is difficult to tell from the photos, but the dress has several godets to make the skirt fuller. It also takes a lot of material - 7-3/8 to 7-5/8 45", depending on size, for the white wrap dress. Fabric recommended is laundered cottons, lightweight pique or poplin, chalis, crepe back stain, crepe de chine, etc.
I have some nice teal rayon that might make work. I think I'd try first the b&w on the left side of the photo. The only thing I didn't like was the darn tab thing on the sleeve - I've never liked those things!!!!!
Now the suit in the other pattern, I'm not sure about. I do like the jacket, but
the skirt just looks like it would gap or be difficult to fit. The photo even looks like there is a problem in the front seam. I didn't get this one, as the larger photo in the pattern catalog makes it look even more of a problem. Its charms may grow on me.

Hi Sally, Like you I also love the pattern for the dress! I'm waiting for Simplicity to go on sale at Hancock's. As for the jacket and skirt pattern, I've always been told that double-breasted jackets make your chest look larger! Mine is big enough, thank you.
