Simplicity 2476
You can sew a versatile wardrobe from just this one pattern. The pieces include two blouses, a vest, two pant styles, and a sleeveless jumpsuit with pleats at the empire waist. The fit is close through the bust and flowing below the waist. The peasant blouse features sleeves edged with a bias ruffle, and the harem-style pants have a wide bias yoke and an elasticized waist. The reversible vest is designed for one side to be made in fur and the other in fabric. With its simple lines, the shrug can be made in just about any fabric for a great layering option in warm or cool weather. The long skinny scarf works up super-quickly and can double as a belt.
(Sized Misses’ 4–20 for busts 29.5–42 in. and hips 31.5–44 in.)
