Pattern Description: Simplicity 8673 misses’ drop-waisted dress from 1978.
Pattern Sizing: Misses’/regular.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it was easy to assemble, looked like the illustration, and is comfortable. No particular dislikes.
Fabric Used: Joann Keepsake Calico in pale pink mini floral
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: The big one was that I raised the underarms by three inches. This pattern has intentionally oversized sleeves and very low underarms, but I usually wear dresses under jackets for work and I thought it might not work if the underarms were that low. I also reduced the circumference of the sleeve to match.
I probably also added some width around the hips (I usually do).
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I will definitely sew it again and recommend it.
Conclusion: Cute, comfortable, and easily-sewn 1970s-does-1920s dress.
