Pattern Description: Misses' swimwear and dress. Empire style dress and swimwear top have top edge finished with elastic. Cups are double and gather at side seams and interlock at center front. Optional straps tie at back neckline. View A is dress length. View B is top and panties. Panties have lined front, and waist and leg openings are finished with elastic.

Pattern Sizing:XS-XL

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?I found it easy to sew by taking it slow and reading all of the instructions. The only confusion I had was at the assembly of the bust. The worded description made it seem more complicated than it really was.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that it's got a retro vibe and is both sexy and sweet at the same time.

Fabric Used: Stretch lycra from Spandex House.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I made view B as is.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely sew it again in many cute fabrics.

Conclusion: A great pattern to start sewing swimwear.
