Simplicity 2172

[xdragonladyx]

For Dragon*Con this year I made the ever so popular Simplicity 2172 outfit. The wine color of the dress on the package happens to be my favorite color to wear so my first dress off this pattern (because I plan on making more one day) looks very, very similar to it.

I am currently making this pattern and, yes, the pleats take forever!! I like how you made the sleeves really short. Looks beautiful! I hope mine comes out that well.

Thank you. I hope you post picture of yours. I'd love to see it.

Fantastic! Looking at the thumbnails I couldn't even tell it was the same pattern that keeps cropping up everywhere. The sleeves turned out very well.

Thank you! I really like how the sleeves turned out too, and they were so much more comfortable to deal with as the day warmed up.

I think I've crocheted those gloves XD

I wouldn't be surprised, it's a nice pattern.

Your gloves are gorgeous!

I also wore this coat to the con but with no sleeves and the underbust top turned into a v-neck (modified the pattern for Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX) and had a great time spotting all of the other variations to this pattern.

Awesome! I don't think I saw you though, I don't remember any sleeveless versions. I bet you were pretty comfortable like that.

This is beautiful. Lovely work and the color is gorgeous on you.
