| Pattern Description: 1920's style, More fancy than your typical flapper dress.
Pattern Sizing: I went with a larger size to fit my bust and it was a little too big on the shoulders for the under dress.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yep, pretty close, just different colors 
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes for the most part. Make sure to get 60" or at least 58" fabric for the outer tunic, otherwise your pattern will not fit.
I had a hard time figuring out the directions on how to sew the side slits, and attaching the trim to the slits.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I just loved the style. It was really easy to cut out, and only had a few pieces
Fabric Used: crepe back satin on the under dress, and I had to go with a lining fabric for the outer tunic, just because I was having a hard time finding the color I wanted in 60". It looks shinier in the pic, but it had a sheen but was not overly shiny. But!! oil spots were a huge issue. Seems like anything touched the lining and it created a spot.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:None. I would next time make the neck of the under dress either more of a V-neck or just dip it lower.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would love to make this again and would recommend it for anyone looking for a beatiful 20's look that isn't the flapper thing.
