I think I'm the last person on earth to sew the Cambie Dress.
I had a few glitches, first of all I had too much fabric in the skirt back, I couldn't gather up all the fabric, so lopped off about four inches on each side. I'm very long-waisted and the pattern runs long. I ripped out the sleeves and sewed them further into the bodice, it's still a little long, but I'm done with this dress. I think this dress is pretty and easy to sew.
I did learn something new and that is how to sew the lining to the zipper by machine. If you go online and search Cambie Dress and zipper there are plenty of pictures to guide you if you haven't done this method before. It's slick!

Cambie Dress

Simplicity 2215
I think this is another well loved pattern in the sewing world. I added about eight inches in the skirt. It's a little big in the front armhole, but I think they drafted it that way to allow for the blouse. All in all I like this pattern and might make it again with a contrasting hem band and shirt.
