Pattern Description: It's described as a special occasion dress, I chose view C.

Pattern Sizing: Most sizes, I chose a 14

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I think so, lol.


Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, they were ok, although I got a bit lost on the casing instructions.


Fabric Used: Some type of Rayon


Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any alterations on this dress but next time a FBA.


Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes, and maybe the longer version!

Conclusion: I thought this was a pretty cute dress overall, i like the fabric especially. I just got a bit lost on the casing instructions and had to come back to it the next day! .........Umm nope, that didn't help much, lol. So I improvised, and that worked for me! This is great for our hot summers here, (fall too!) and it only took 2 evenings to finish!

I have more pics on my Blog !
