It was such a very beautiful day yesterday. Minneapolis weather was very good. A 40-degree weather in February is a real blessing.

We took advantage of it and had a little get together.  The Minnesota members of a facebook group called FIN ( Females in Nigeria). It was fun. Haven’t had such fun in a while.

I wore this simple beautiful monochrome dress using Simplicity 1283 as a guide.

Here is the adjustment I made on the pattern:

I used Simplicity 1283 View A

  • I didn’t use a zipper for the bodice as instructed by the pattern. I closed it and make sure the neck was wide and stretchy enough for my big head.
  • I cut the front bodice on the fold.
  • I extended the top and made it as long as I wanted.
  • I added 3″ to each side of my hem and aligned the angle to my hips.
