This pattern is best suited for intermediate sewists comfortable with zippers, vents, and applying contrast binding.
Yes, Simplicity patterns typically include a 5/8 inch seam allowance unless otherwise noted on the pattern pieces.
The pattern is designed for woven fabrics. Using fabrics with significant stretch may distort the shape of the asymmetrical jacket and the pleats of the skirt.
The pattern provides specific options for three-quarter or long sleeves. You can choose your preference during the cutting phase.
Use a narrow hem foot or double-fold the hem carefully. Since it is a curved edge, use stay-stitching to prevent the fabric from stretching out while you work.
Ensure you are not stretching the fabric or the binding tape while sewing. Use plenty of pins or fabric clips and consider using a walking foot for even feeding.
Ensure you have interfaced the zipper area properly. Use a zipper foot for a closer stitch and press the seam allowances flat before installing the zipper.
Check your measurements against the pattern size chart and adjust the pattern pieces before cutting your fashion fabric by making a muslin 'toile' first.
To begin, ensure you have the correct needles for your chosen fabric weight, such as universal size 80/12 or 90/14. Before cutting, compare your body measurements against the Simplicity size chart provided in the pattern to ensure an accurate fit.
