A new school year has started… What a big excitement!! Let’s give our welcome to new teachers, new books and supplies, and of course… a BIG welcome to new clothes!
Getting new school clothes is inevitable, the children grow too fast and mom needs to keep up with the children’s clothes.
While looking for a cute “back-to-school” dress pattern in my stash of vintage notions, I found this vintage Simplicity #9533. It is the classic and versatile front pleated dress.
You may easily modify this pattern. Sometimes making it with only 3 pleats or sometimes using 4 pleats; using flat pleats or inverted pleats; sometimes making the pattern a lot shorter (as a top for a 2 piece set), or leave the original length for a school dress.

Change the fabrics, change the length of the sleeve, change anything you feel needed and make it your own. This is an easy to make and versatile pattern.
Enjoy!
