The pattern/instructions should say what seam allowance to use. Be careful, because sometimes it will be a different seam allowance on different parts of the garment, ie seam allowance is 5/8" except the sleeve hole allowance may be 1/2".
Hello, Kathy -
Doesn't the tissue pattern for the garment you wish to sew have seam markings on it, indicating the seam allowance?
See image 02 here:

It shows an edge of a pattern piece with the seam allowance printed on it.
It has been a long time since have sewn garments, but I recall that unless the pattern indicates otherwise, seams are sewn at 5/8 inches. If the pattern indicates 1 inch seam allowances and no other seam allowance depth, then, a 1 inch seam allowance it is.
I do not have Simplicity Pattern #1800 myself. If you do not have the printed sewing instructions for the pattern (where the seam depth may be stated), then you may wish to contact Simplicity Creative Group and ask to purchase replacement instructions for your pattern.
