Pattern Description:

Pattern Sizing: Bust 30-46

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? Easy if you are an advanced sewer

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The inset was very tricky. I tried to set it several times, and wasn't happy with the results

Fabric Used:Linen and cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:Non

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Doubtful. The side inset and pockets don't seem to fit right.

Conclusion: I like the dress, and it is cute, but I'm not an advances seamstress, and as such may have had issues due tailoring inexperience.

The dress looks very nice, despite the difficulties you had.
