Pattern Description: fitted knit dress or top, I did both.
Pattern Sizing:8 to 14, for top I did 8 for the top. true to size

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?yes it did but I took out the gathers,

Were the instructions easy to follow?I did not go by them but they seem easy, the whole pattern is very easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I am very pleased with the top, it is very form fitting, I am not good at picture taken so they don't look that great.

Fabric Used:I used a poly knit on all three, stash reduction.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:The only alterations is as usually, sway back by 1/2 and the back , because of the gathers I took out 2 inches, I think I should have taken out another 1/2

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I would recommend it and yes I would make it again, I made three, why not more

Conclusion: very easy

I love them all--they are all very figure flattering and the fabric is definitely suited to the pattern. Great entry in the OPML!
