FAQs

What kind of fabric should I use?

This pattern is designed for knit fabrics. Consider using fabrics like jersey, ponte knit, or double brushed poly.

Where can I find the pattern?

This pattern can be found at most fabric stores and online retailers that carry Simplicity patterns.

What if my measurements fall between sizes?

It is usually best to choose the larger size and make adjustments as needed. Consult the pattern instructions for how to do this.

Can I use a serger with this pattern?

Yes, a serger is great for sewing knit fabrics because it helps prevent the edges from fraying and gives a more professional finish.

How do I measure myself correctly?

Use a flexible measuring tape and have someone assist you. Measure your bust, waist, and hips. Compare these measurements to the pattern's size chart.

How do I adjust the pattern for a petite or tall frame?

Follow the pattern instructions for lengthening or shortening the pattern pieces. Make the adjustments before cutting the fabric.

What sewing machine needle should I use?

Use a ballpoint or stretch needle when sewing knit fabrics to prevent skipped stitches and damage to the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping while cutting

Use pattern weights or pins to secure the fabric to the pattern pieces.

Seams are puckering

Adjust the tension on your sewing machine or use a walking foot.

Dress doesn't fit properly

Double-check your measurements and compare them to the pattern's size chart. Adjust the pattern or the sewn garment as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Unpack the Pattern: Carefully unpack the Simplicity Sewing Pattern 9600 package.
Read the Instructions: Familiarize yourself with the pattern instructions and illustrations before you begin.
Choose Your Size: Select the correct size based on your measurements.
Gather Materials: Collect all necessary materials, including fabric, thread, a sewing machine, scissors, pins, and a measuring tape.

Compatibility

This pattern is designed to be used with knit fabrics only. Ensure that the fabric you choose is appropriate for the dress style you are making. A serger or overlock machine is useful but not essential for knit fabrics.

Care

Fabric Care: Follow the fabric care instructions provided with your chosen knit fabric.
Washing: Wash the finished dress according to the fabric care instructions. It is recommended to wash knit garments inside out to protect the fabric's surface.
Drying: Dry your finished garment according to the fabric care instructions. If you're unsure, air drying is generally the safest option to prevent shrinkage.
Ironing: Iron the dress on a low setting, if necessary, using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
