Pattern Description:
Fast and Easy 1 hour pattern
Pattern Sizing:
BB 8 - 14

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?
Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love this pattern - easy instructions, quick and easy to cut and sew.

Fabric Used:
Poly Jersey

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I altered the pattern by two inches on the hips. I always need the extra room there. I also omitted the button at the back of the neckline. This jersey fabric stretches and has enough ease that it wasn't needed.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I plan on sewing it again. Dresses like these are great for those days when I don't want to think too much about getting dressed in the morning. All I need are different prints and I'm good to go

Conclusion:
Highly recommend this dress if you're looking for something quick and easy to make. Oh and it's on sale right now for $1.88!!
