Simplicity basic patterns
Posted on | October 26, 2009 | No Comments
Simplicity basic patterns came in all shapes and sizes. Simplicity 5589, 5653 and 8868 are pictured. Each pattern include the Bonus Chart: How to make a better fitted dress, and two contain the Tissue Chart: How to Join Skirt to Bodice. All of these patterns include a jewel neckline.
Use a basic pattern to make a muslin. The muslin is used to acquire proper fit of the actual garment you’re making.
S5589 & 5653 is a standard dress with sleeve variances.
When purchasing a basic pattern you only need: a bodice front, bodice back, set-in sleeve, skirt front and skirt back.
S5653 and 5589 include facings and tie belts.
While S5653 and 5589 are basic dresses, Simpliciy 8868 is an A-line dress. A-line dresses were extremely popular in the 1960s…still are today actually.
Make your own basic or purchase one online or at your local fabric store.
