DIY TOP AND PLEATED PANTS + PATTERN REVIEW V1525

HI DARLINGS! I thought I would share another easy holiday party look if you’re not in the mood to wear a dress and Spanx, lol! This was a really great pattern and I think I will make it again in a lighter weight fabric for spring next year.

Pattern review and fabric options below… Happy Friday!

Pattern Description: V1525 Loose-fitting top has back invisible zipper closure, shaped front and back side panels, and long sleeves with in-seam invisible zippers. Semi-fitted pants have front pleats, back invisible zipper closure and side pockets.

Pattern Sizing: I cut a 6 for the top and an 8 for the pants

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? Yeah not too fussy for a Vogue pattern. The construction of the pants and pockets is nicely done.0

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked the pleated pants and the top is really cool.

Fabric Used: Ponte (options HERE)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Yes I think I will make a spring version.
