I used Simplicity 0614 for this dress. It took a long time to make and some of the steps were a little tricky -- particularly the facing of the neckline. I used a Japanese printed cotton for the main fabric and an olive green thick linen for the trim. I think next time I will use a thinner fabric for the trim. It turned out really cute! Perfect for dancing in the woods!

The pattern was pretty well written with lots of tips. I really like the Thread's Magazine line from Simplicity. I think the techniques were just pretty challenging. Also the facing would have been much easier with another cotton instead of the thick linen.

Very nice. It actually reminds me more of a Korean Hanbok more than Japanese Kimono.... But that's just me. It's still great. :)
