So I have been lap swimming outdoors for a year now, and I really wanted to sew up a pool dress for fall. (A cute simple dress that will get me through the gym to my vehicle) I found Simplicity 8947 and new it was the right pattern for my pool dress . This is a super easy pattern to sew. Here is the low down:
Pattern has a lot of ease. I sewed the Medium size with no adjustments. The fabric I choose is a terry knit that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. For the dress, I sewed up image D, but I did use the arm pattern of image A. I do like the way the dress came out. I can totally see sewing this dress in a nice sweatshirt fabric and possibly adding some embellishments to the sleeve. However, the sleeves do need to be shortened a tad for my next dress.
