Pattern Description:
Shirt dress with multiple sleeve and pocket options, full one piece cersion or flared skirt and fitted bodice. I made the one piece versiom.
Pattern Sizing:
I have found that this dress runs small, there isn't a whole lot of give to shirting material uness you use a stretch cotton so size up a couple sizes.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes I think so!
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I have made this dress several times so I didn't even use them, but if you are making this the first time then they are very easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I am in love with this shirt dress, it is versatile and can be made in all sorts of different print fabric.
Fabric Used:
I used a vintage plaid cotton that has a silver metallic thread running through the pattern
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I omitted all the interfacing, this dress is casual so I don't think that it really needs all that stiffness
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes I am sure I will since this is like my fifth one!

Cute. Styled nicely with the accessories and boots. Love the metallic detail in the fabric.
