Revisiting a True and Tested Pattern: OOP Simplicity 2372


Another version of out-of-print Simplicity 2372 hot off the sewing machine and gifted.  I've lost count how many versions of this dress pattern I've sewn over the years.  Looking back at reviews, this pattern first hit the sewing table about ten years ago and this might be the seventeenth version of the dress pattern I've sewn.  

The same modifications to the pattern as previous versions, eliminate the center front seam, insert an invisible zipper at the center back, lengthen the sleeves, shorten the hem and add front patch pockets.  

The fabric is a home décor 100% cotton found in the sale section of the local Fabricland store last year.  I actually picked it up with another project in mind.  The zipper and thread were also from the stash. 


Project Details

Seams:  2.8 straight stitch

Seam finish:  Serged

Zipper:  22" invisible

Pattern:  OOP Simplicity 2372

Additional Tools & Supplies:  Cutting table, pins, pin cushions, scissors, thread clippers, tailor's chalk, ruler, measuring tape, measuring gauge, sewing machine, invisible zipper foot, regular zipper foot, serger, screwdriver, serger, threads, hand sewing needle, iron and ironing board.  

Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
