I am about to jump headlong into processing a bunch of Vegas glitz pictures via HDR. But before diving into that neon debauchery I thought I would balance it out with some images based on simplicity.

Simplicity 6195, copyright 1965. A very Jackie O/Mary Tyler Moore kind of dress. I really like the sleek lines.
The extra ease I took up at the back for a couple of the shots. I think I need to take in no less than an inch, and maybe 2 full inches of ease throughout the garment. if I take that in at the seams, I'll need to adjust the collar and or sleeves so I think instead I'll simply narrow the front and back pieces by half an inch or so. As long as it's the same front and back, there shouldn't be any crazy adjustments to make.

Simplicity 4032
I really liked the idea of this pattern. It's nice to have something that's easy to care for, made of fleece but doesn't look like you just walked out of the gym. The pattern has 4 jacket versions and a (rather hideous) vest option. I've never sewn with fleece before so I bought some less expensive mint colored fleece and a slightly more expensive fleece in a deep plum shade. My plan was to sew my second choice jacket designs with the green to get my feet wet with fleece, before cutting into the purple fabric.
I don't hate the end result but it's definitely not as nicely designed as I would have liked. My biggest issues are that it's just plain fussy to put on, the collar is a single, unfaced layer and rolls if it's not laying just so, the little accent bow does the same thing. The inner facings are all over the place. You really have to put it on and check that everything is in order instead of just tossing the jacket on and going.
My other issue is that the cross back measurement is too wide for my taste, by probably a full 2"/5cm. Jackets are generally cut like this to give room for layering, but I'm a hussy and wear mostly slim fitting clothing. On me, the shoulder seams fall off my shoulders and the look is a little sloppy.
The other thing to be aware of, which has more to do with my crappy skills than the pattern, is you really need to know which seams will be unfinished in the final product so you don’t cut those edges like you were a few sheets to the wind before you started. Fleece isn’t very forgiving in that sense.
I may still sew the other version of this jacket that I like a little better. If I do, I'll narrow the front and back pieces, mid shoulder (so I don't have to monkey with the fit of the collar or sleeves) and I may find a better way to keep the inner facings in line. I'm not an expert enough seamstress to go too crazy with mods but I think the pattern is salvageable.
kroj nazvan simplicity u nedostatku boljeg naziva, otvoren uložak je nalik na bombončić, ali je iz jednog dijela; waterproofing je poliester flis, a dužine su regular 21cm, long 24cm i XL od 26cm
mali set od po jednog regular, long i XL
odozgo pamučni velur u ljubičastoj boji, straga tamnije ljubičasti polar flis

boja na fotografiji ne odgovara u potpunosti originalu, moj aparat iz nekog razloga ne može adekvatno da "ulovi" ljubičastu boju; ulošci su u stvarnosti svjetliji i više crveno-ljubičasti nego plavo-ljubičasti
Vintage patterns are one of my favorite things to collect (and maybe I should sell them, since I'm just getting them to scan the covers, and I don't know what I'll ever actually sew.) Misses' pants, Bought at an antique mall in Blue Island, IL.

Another take at Simplicity 2596, this time, I made View B.
The fabric is a very thin fabric with dots of fabric tufts on it. Is this known as Swiss Dots?
I wore it to work for casual Friday and nobody had any idea I made it myself (if yes, they were polite not to ask me about it)! Excuse the creases, it is afterall, after a day's wear :).
