New Look Pattern 6143

My new favourite pattern. 

I had been looking for a pattern for a dress this shape for ages before I found this bargain!

I chose to make the 3/4 sleeved dress in a pink flowery fabric. It's a bit more pink than I would usually go for but I love the material. I think the pleats work well with this material too.

The New Look 6143 pattern was simple and easy to use. The darts in the front and back of the bodice were easy to create and made it a great fit. The darts were the most fiddly part but even they weren't too tricky and they give the dress a great shape. You have to ease the sleeves and neck binding into place to fit but as long as you know that it isn't too difficult.

I'll definitely be using this pattern again.
