Pattern Description: Girls' pantdress and reversible skirt.

Pattern Sizing: Vintage size 7/breast 26.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. This is a "Jiffy" pattern with only a couple of main pieces.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I liked how easy it was to put together.

Fabric Used: Quilting cotton.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lined the entire outfit and omitted making the skirt reversible.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would definitely sew this one again. It's cute and easy to sew.

Conclusion: If you can find a copy of this pattern online and you have a little girl to sew for, I highly recommend it for cool summer-wear.
