Hi pinups! To round up this year’s sewing pattern reviews, I thought I’d end on a festive note with my By Hand London ‘Kim’ Dress! The perfect dress for pinup-perfect party style this Christmas.
Sewing Summary:
Pattern: By Hand London Kim Dress
Fabric: Plain Cotton Poplin Fabric – Scarlet Red
Notions: 22″ concealed zip
Sewing time: Half a day.
Modifications: None.
Fit: I know I’m going to love the fit of this dress even more with a full bust adjustment.
Difficulty: Medium.
Watch out for: Getting even gathers and under-stitching the lining of the bodice.
Make Again?: Yes! I see this pattern being my go to Summer dress pattern once I made the bust adjustments. Simple, pretty quick and a gorgeous result!
For my full review & images, check out my blog The Crafty Pinup.
Thank you!

What a great dress!
I agree with you about the FBA but I’m sure you’ll sort that out for your next version.
